CANADA: RCMP Chief Retreats From Link Between Killings,

Allan Woods

Montreal Gazette

Tuesday 08 Mar 2005

---

Canada's top police officer said yesterday that he was too quick to
condemn a marijuana grow operation as the root cause in the deaths
of four Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers last week.

RCMP Commissioner Guiliano Zaccardelli said in an interview that his
condemnation of grow-ops shortly after the shootings might have been
inappropriate because police and politicians did not have full
details of the particular case and the background of cop-killer
James Roszko.

"I gave what I believed was the best information I had, knowing full
well that at that time I didn't have all the information," a
contrite Zaccardelli said.

While there, they discovered what a search warrant said were 20
"mature" marijuana plants, "several pots containing dirt with stems
coming out of them numbering close to 100," and a smell "consistent
of a marijuana grow operation."

But in the days since the murders, it appears they were the work of
a deranged man with a long criminal history, as opposed to that of a
gangster protecting his cash crop.
