MONTREAL — A Canadian Security Intelligence Service document obtained by a Quebec newspaper says terrorists have included Canada's petroleum industry among their possible targets.

The potential al Qaeda targets were included in a risk-assessment document prepared for CSIS and obtained by Montreal's Le Devoir under the Access to Information Act.

The newspaper reports today that North America's electricity network is also a potential target.

The document says petroleum industries in Mexico and Venezuela were also proposed as targets by a publication sympathetic to al Qaeda on February 9.
