Canadian police detonate explosives found on railroad tracks
2008-06-18
Eight explosive devices, found along railroad tracks on Monday night in Canada's western city of Calgary, were detonated by the police and caused no injuries, local police said Tuesday.

A Calgary transit employee found some of the devices along the light rail transit (LRT) line in the city's south. More explosive devices were also found near a rail line parallel to the LRT, a spokesman said at a press conference Tuesday.

All trains, halted in the area for several hours, returned to normal service after the police bomb squad detonated the devices.

The transit employee said the explosives may have been thrown over the fence near the tracks simply because it was a secluded area, and were not likely to have targeted any infrastructure.
