No Connection to terror as mystery tunnel near Pan Am games site stumps Canadian authorities
By Ray Sanchez, CNN An elaborate tunnel was discovered near Pan Am Games venue in Toronto
Nothing so far suggests criminal activity or terrorist intent, police say. Police Deputy Chief Mark Saunders: "There is no criminal offense for digging a hole" The mysterious tunnel measured more than 6 feet in height, nearly 3 feet in width and about 33 feet in length, tunnel was equipped with electricity supplied by a generator, a sump pump to remove water and a pulley system to remove dirt, Saunders said. It likely took more than one person to dig it out by hand. Ice that formed at the end of a hose attached to the sump pump indicates that the tunnel may have been used this winter. "This was built with a considerable amount of sophistication," (like Gaza?) Saunders said. "The individuals responsible for building it clearly had some expertise in structural integrity." Police also found a gas can, food and beverage containers, work gloves, a wheel barrow and moisture-resistant light bulbs in the tunnel, which has been filled in
