Two held in British Columbia 'Canada Day bomb plot'

Two people have been arrested in British Columbia accused of plotting to plant a bomb outside the provincial legislature on Canada Day, police say.

John Stewart Nuttall and Amanda Marie Korody were self-radicalised and inspired by al-Qaeda, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said.

The two Canadians from Surrey, British Columbia, were arrested on Monday, which was Canada's national day.

They are not believed to have been in contact with other militant groups.
