After the RCMP was called in to help Kinder Morgan find two tonnes of an explosive chemical that has been used in terror attacks, the company says the product wasn't actually missing in the first place.
The RCMP says energy firm Kinder Morgan reported Wednesday that a clerical error was made, and all 6,000 bags of ammonium nitrate that were shipped from Alberta to British Columbia have been accounted for.
Only an hour earlier, the RCMP issued a statement saying the company could not account for two bags, each weighing a tonne, of ammonium nitrate.
The chemical, a high-nitrogen fertilizer, is used by mining companies as an oxidizing agent for explosives. When mixed with fuel to make a compound known as ANFO -- it can be used in improvised explosive devices or bombs.
Ammonium nitrate was also used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, which killed 168 people and injured more than 600.
It was also sought after in the so-called "Toronto 18" plot.
The disappearance was reported to the RCMP before Christmas, spokesperson Sgt. Tim Shields told CTV British Columbia.
"So far we haven't determined that there has been any type of criminal involvement or any type of theft," he said at the time.
