U.S. authorities unearth smuggling tunnel under B.C. border
SEATTLE (AP) - U.S. government agents have shut down a drug-smuggling tunnel built under the Canadian border near Lynden, Wash., a government source said Wednesday.
Authorities had been monitoring construction of the tunnel for eight months and sealed it Wednesday, shortly after it opened, making three to five arrests in the process, said the source, a government employee who had been briefed by local law-enforcement officials.
The exact length of the tunnel was not known. It ran from a building on the Canadian side to a house on the U.S. side, 90 metres from the border, the source said.
The source spoke on the condition of anonymity because the news had not yet been made public; a news release was expected Thursday morning.
Emily Langlie, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Seattle, declined comment, as did Michael Milne, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The source said the investigation was handled largely by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI, which did not immediately return a call seeking comment Wednesday.
Oh, BAD WORD! BAD WORD! BAD WORD! Guess where I live!
Are you saying that obtaining Canadian approval would be difficult?
I'm saying the Canadians probably did on their side watch and back this tunnel from their side back to it's original cell.
I doubt Canada would be willing to have American forces or employees of any kind attempting law enforcement on their soil.
It's all on Mr. Rove.
"Word is that the mastermind is getting 30 days in the cooler."
=============================
Is that under U.S. or Canadian law?
"I doubt Canada would be willing to have American forces or employees of any kind attempting law enforcement on their soil."=====================
Oh . . I dunno. If the Canadian Prime Minister, the el Presidente of Mexico, and the United States President all got their heads together and made this just ONE country then . .
Thank you sir.

Ping!
President Fox would solve the illegal drug problem, by making all drugs legal?
I see that you have no idea of the number of US Federal employees in Canada now. State Dept., FBI, DEA, EPA, and military personel have been assigned to Canada for decades.
So you think they were assigned to checking out the source end of that tunnel back to the original cell?
Then we would be saddled with millions of additional leftists perfectly willing to screw up this country even more.
No thanks. I prefer things as they are--Mexico ruled by the Mexican oligarchy, Canada ruled by the Quebeckers, and America, for the most part, ruled by Americans.
It's farm land, they probably just spread it around.
Exactly.. buy off a few mounties and have the Mounties deliver it.. like in any mostly U.S. democrat town along both borders already DO... Voter fraud is the tip of the iceberg.. Any competition gets iced by the gendarmes.. Mob Rule is Mob Rule.. and democracy, if its nothing, is Mob Rule..
This is a commonplace occurrance on the Southern border. The Border Patrol has seismophones in some places because of this.
They should have been if they weren't is what I'm saying. The DEA and FBI work with the Canucks on cases that have American interests. It's the same as our guys in Mexico and further South working with their cops.
They probably don't know their way around once they are off the highways.
Well, working with Mexico is probably like working with a disjointed crime family, so I hope Canada is better than dealing with Mexico.
Do you think we will shoot people crossing our southern border the way life loving Mexico does theirs some day?
