(Newser) – A video of an alleged terrorist training camp linked to 11 suspects accused of plotting terror attacks in Canada has surfaced online days before a verdict against one of them is due, the Toronto Star reports. A lawyer for the men complained that the video—which features men in a snowy landscape firing weapons, waving black flags and shouting "Allah"—was not being seen in its proper context.
