As the Mounties continue to search for two missing tons of ammonium nitrate destined for a warehouse in Metro Vancouver, BC's Premier says he's confident the upcoming Olympics will be safe.
"I think we're ready. I think that the team is ready. I think the security group is ready. We're going to be fine. We're going to have a great time at our games."
Gordon Campbell says he's not especially worried the same chemical used in the Oklahoma City bombing could end up in the wrong hands, "For all the work and time and effort, we have to be extremely diligent and vigilant as we go through these games. For all of the great feelings that people have, there's going to be some people that try and take advantage of the games for other purposes."
Officials at Kinder Morgan --the company responsible for the missing chemicals-- initially claimed the ammonium nitrate was missing because of a 'clerical' error, RCMP Investigators have confirmed they're still trying to track it down.
