News : CSIS Watching Anti-Olympic Protest Groups

Canwest News Service has obtained a Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) report to the Department of Public Safety. In the report it is noted that CSIS has been monitoring anti-Olympic protesters for more than a year.

Specific groups are highlighted, described, and their previous protest actions noted.

The CSIS reports warns that VANOC may not be doing enough to quell fears of significant 2010 protests as multiple groups, many focused on Aboriginal rights, may likely converge and band together for protests leading up to and during the Olympic events.

This report was obtained just days after another security expert raised fears of potential protest issues.

More from Canwest.
