Arrest in B.C. pipeline bombings!

A series of bombing of B.C. gas pipelines has led to a massive search resulting in the arrest of one man, while the search for others goes on. Around 8 a.m in the morning a man of 50-60 years was taken into custody 25 km from the border of B.C and Alberta. Police still withhold the name of the suspect, as he has not been formally charge. Ludwig and Richard Boonstra were charged and convicted in two gas well bombings in Alberta. In 1998 three gas wells were hit, and another blast made a large crater in the road going to Norcen Energy. "A letter to local media called EnCana "terrorists" and demanded that the company stop operating in the region.
Another letter sent to the Dawson Creek Daily News in July warned that things "could get a lot worse" if the company did not quit."
Personlly i had no idea that these bombings were even occuring. I dont see why companies would continue operating in the region if there have been so many bombings going on. It is very good that the authorities managed to arrest the one suspect and hopefully they will catch more of them.
