Police Call in Bomb Squad

Monday, August 20, 2007 12:28 PM

The RCMP Explosive Technicians from the "E" Division Explosives Disposal Unit made a trip to Prince George this weekend to deal with a suspicious item.

A recently retired member of the Canadian Forces who had worked in Explosive Ordinance Disposal found an item on the corner of Malaspina Avenue and Domano Boulevard. He advised Prince George RCMP the item looked like a pipe bomb. Members of the local detchment secured the scene until the special Unit arrived at the site.

Nearby residents approached the officers on the scene, and they too said the item looked like a pipe bomb.

One home was evacuated during the disposal operation.

The item was destroyed by the Explosives Disposal Unit just before 8 last night, nearly 6 and a half hours after it had been discovered.

The team says they did not find any explosives or timing device, and there had been no threats or suspicious activity prior to the discovery of the item. Still, police say to be on the safe side, the item was treated as a potential bomb.

Turns out it was a piece of scrap metal.

Thats too funny, but on a more serious note here is a lnk to a very compelling article that shows our foreign policy to be hypocritical in regards to the Middle East and the source of the problems in the Middle East. It gets really compelling around half way through, so don't let the begining discourage you from reading on.

Rather than a "compelling article", it is a pure propaganda piece, that would have us believe that the scum who on a virtually daily basis attack Israeli civilians are not terrorists. Somehow the author doesn't know that Israel did not invade the "Palestinian territories" but captured them in defense (no scare quotes needed) against an invasion intended to wipe Israel off the map. Somehow it fails to note that 5/6 of the deaths in the West Bank and Gaza are due to one Arab killing another.

I think billposer ignores the fact of occupation and no-right-of-return. Of course the article is propaganda, but I think it is compelling propaganda.

Also the 7-days war was proven to be instigated by Israel, which they tried to cover up by attempting to sink the American signal ship USS Liberty killing 180 American sailors after the USS Liberty blew their cover. President Johnston the guy the zionists put in power (via Kennedy's assassination), then blocked any investigations into the matter. The zionists use the art of false flag attacks to create political realities and even use that as their motto for Mossad - 'The Art of Deception'.

IMO if Canada really had values we would let Australia take over our Afghan mission in 2009, so they can eagerly lick the boats of imperialism. Canada should bring the troops home for 6-months and then redeploy them where they are needed bringing law and order to Palestine, so that the zionists will have no choice but to deal with the Palestinian people as humans with equal rights in their homeland. Of course that would put Canada at risk of zionist false flag attacks, which is why it will never happen.

Incredible. From a civilian/police panic attack over a piece of pipe, to the wild eyed hot heads of the middle east.
Man what a contrast.

Chadermando....I hope The Canadian Secret Service Visits you soon, You read like a (Want to be) terrorist.

No Don, I read like a person with empathy for another people that are being abused in my name, because my country condones and endorses those evil policies that are hypocritical to Canadian values. If Canada steps back and refuses to endorse those policies I would be less inclined to make my argument.

That makes me a patriot and you Don Mackenzie the terrorist for suggesting I should be visited for expressing my views to protect the integrity of our nations values.
