Description: "00/00/1987: On 10/26/1987, Solicitor General James Kelleher told a conference of police chiefs that there had been ""early warning of a number of potential threats against participants [in the October 1987 Vancouver meeting of Commonwealth heads of government]. These threats were nullified by the implementation of effective protective procedures. Police are now investigating three separate terrorist criminal conspiracies."" He did not elaborate."
