We headed back to London, Ont., today to keep digging on our story about the two Canadian high school friends who were among militants responsible for the deadly attack at a natural gas plant in Algeria.

The handle 'CSIS VAN #926' can be seen in the Wi-Fi list spotted by CBC reporter Adrienne Arsenault while she logged in to the internet Tuesday morning en route to London, Ont. (CBC)

Logging on in the car, as you do, checking the Wi-Fi connections around the car, and look what pops up. Check the list, and midway through ... CSIS VAN #926.

UPDATE:It's worth notingthat the handle could very well besomeone's idea of a prank, based on examples from the United States, whichlist"Police Surveillance Van" among the top favourite Wi-Fi network names.
