CALGARY (Staff) – Investigations are continuing into the bombing of an office at an Alberta livestock genetics firm last week.
A letter bomb delivered to Alta Genetics south of Calgary exploded in an office when an employee opened the package delivered by Canada Post, said Sgt. Don Bates of Cochrane RCMP. No one was hurt in the explosion.
“Nobody’s claimed responsibility so we’re not pinpointing our investigation into any one direction,” said Bates. The RCMP are checking everything from disgruntled former employees to business connections. No one can confirm a possible link to radical animal rights groups.
Company president Doug Blair was out of the country at the time of the incident.
Alta Genetics is a custom embryo and semen collection company with sales connections worldwide. A publicly traded company, it had reported revenues of $15.1 million as of September, 1994.
