Questions are being asked, why the government never informed them.


    Also: In a rare act of political unity, MPs from all federal parties in the House have been working on a secret mission to bring female Afghan politicians to safety in Canada - an operation CBC News has been following for a year and can finally reveal.


    Plus: Heightened security for Jewish New Year and arrests in a brutal assault of a 13 year old.
