KELOWNA – A former Alberta man was denied bail Thursday, after he was found with a stolen truck and enough explosives to destroy a three-storey building.

RCMP in Kelowna, B.C., say the 39-year-old man is "very well known to police throughout Western Canada."

He was found with 97 sticks of dynamite and a 10-kilogram mixture of fertilizer and fuel oil in a stolen pickup truck, said police. The truck had been stolen in Innisfail on April 18.

The fertilizer-fuel oil mixture is a blasting agent and requires dynamite to make it detonate. The same material was used in the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.

Holy shit.
Well known to police?
Well if the RCMP don't know what to do, maybe CSIS is involved?
WTF is going on.

1. He was arrested

For driving like a maniac near Peachland and the cops laid a spike belt.
No one knows what his plans were.

2. Scary

How many more nuts like this are just at the edge? What with firewalls and fundys and the like.
Me thinks that CSIS and others should have a lot more resources.

3. Wow and yikes!

I wonder where his end destination was and what he planned to blow up?
