OTTAWA - Wellington Street is now reopened after being closed for several hours
Thursday as police investigated two suspicious packages found at the Bank of
Canada building at 234 Wellington St. Earlier in the morning, Wellington had
been closed between Elgin and Lyon after police and hazardous material
specialists responded to the 7:25 a.m. call about two cardboard boxes at the
bank's entrance. Ottawa Police Service Explosive Section along with
Ottawa Fire Services Hazmat Unit examined the packages and found them to be
inert and non-toxic. One police officer and five Bank of Canada security
officers, who were the first to respond, were temporarily held and assessed as a
precautionary measure. All have now being released. Though part of the Bank of Canada was evacuated earlier as a safety precaution, employees have now been allowed to return. Police say a sample from the package has been sent for
analysis. Police say it's too early into the investigation to confirm if any
charges will be laid in this case. (Source)
Remember that report where the media was trying to pin this on pro-lifers? Why isn't there a clarification on that earlier report?
