Arrests in Ottawa firebombing

The Canadian Press is reporting that Ottawa police have made arrests in the firebombing of a RBC bank in the Glebe last month.

No names or details have been released, but a news conference is scheduled for tomorrow.

The RCMP and Ontario Provincial Police were involved in the investigation.

Early on the morning of May 18, a group of people torched the ATM area of a Royal Bank branch. The act was act recorded on video and posted online that day.

A group calling itself FCCC-Ottawa claimed responsibility, saying the act was in response to the Vancouver Olympics being held on "stolen indigenous land" and promised further action at the G8 and G20 summits.

Last month, a retired bureaucrat was questioned about the incident after it was revealed that a car he rented was traced to the scene.
