More homegrown Islamic radicalism?  Two native-born Muslims have been arrested and charged with multiple offences in connection with two firebomb attacks against Jewish institutions in Montreal.  They appeared in court this afternoon.

Seven months after a molotov cocktail was thrown at a Montreal Jewish school, Montreal police arrested two suspects: Azim Ibragimov, 22, and Omar Bulphred, 24.

The two Canadian-born Muslims are charged with 9 counts, including conspiracy to commit armed robbery, conspiracy to kidnap, conspiracy to forcibly confine someone, and formulating threats to the Jewish community.

They are accused of attacking the Taldos Yakon Yosef school in Outremont last September and the YM-YWHA Ben Weider Jewish Community Centre on 3 April.  The latter bomb exploded an hour after visitors had departed following a Passover seder dinner.

Police uncovered evidence of a kidnapping plot during their investigation.
