Edmonton, Alberta-More than 200 items, including potassium nitrate, an ingredient in explosives, were seized in an Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) raid on the Trickle Creek farm of Wiebo Ludwig. Ludwig has served jail time for 1990 natural gas pipeline bombings and was arrested and later released last January in connection with numerous bombings of sour-gas installations, according to court documents obtained by CBC News. There was no response by either phone or email from RCMP in British Columbia to the news report, which stated that a search at the farm, near Hythe, Alberta, 550 km northwest of Edmonton, was carried out in January. RCMP officers reportedly found a long list of items, including chemistry textbooks, weapons, and office supplies, along with the chemical. The search reportedly was part of an investigation into six bombings that took place between October 2008 and July 2009 at EnCana’s natural gas pipelines.
