Unholy Alliances: Terrorists, Extremists, Front Companies, and the Libyan Connection in Canada

Sidney Allinson is the editor at the Royal Canadian Military Institute
and author of The Bantams: The Untold Story of World War I.

Our country’s porous immigration system and docile security service
have long made Canada an easy field of operations for terrorists of
every stripe, particularly those from Libya. Kinsella is a successful
litigation lawyer, a special assistant to the Leader of the Opposition,
and an experienced journalist whose political connections have obviously
enabled him to dig out some otherwise well-hidden information on how
Libyan agents spy, subvert, and even assassinate people here sometimes.

It seems that the sinister secret operatives of dictator Mu’ammar
Quddafi have been adept at allying themselves with a wide range of other
extremist groups—hard-core Marxists, white supremacists, black
Muslims, radical Natives, and anti-Semites. The author names names and
cites incidents in detail while indicting the perpetrators of numerous
acts of espionage, terror, and subversion. Perhaps even more upsetting
are his accounts of corruption and support by bankers, gangsters, and
front companies, who help perpetuate Libyan terrorism in Canada.

This book maintains that Libyan agents continue to be a real threat to
Canada’s internal security and public safety. Kinsella describes with
chilling detail how the Quddafi regime is ready to use every technique
at its disposal—including murder, money laundering, and covert support
of other extremist groups as disparate as communists and neo-Nazis—to
injure Western countries. As one Muslim informant said (just before he
disappeared), “Quddafi is evil. . . . And you who live in North
America will pay a very big price if you do not take him [as] seriously
as he takes you.” This disturbing book should also be taken seriously.
