Any reliable reports of this canard yet?

From what I've been following, the suspects

  1. Made an order for 3 tons of AN
  2. This naturally caused some interest
  3. The cops delivered fake AN
  4. and arrested them after delivery
As long as the cops just made the delivery, and in no way induced the suspects to make the purchase, there is no entrapment.

Any reliable reports of this canard yet?

I seem to have read the same stuff as you guys:
1. Those reports (CNN,Yahoo, etc.) which refer back to the article in the (Red) Star which states only that "Sources say investigators who had learned of the group's alleged plan to build a bomb were controlling the sale and transport of the massive amount of fertilizer, a key component in creating explosives." and
2. A comment in the Globe and Mail article about the RCMP pulling a switcheroo.

That's it! No details. No "anonymous RCMP official". Just gossip.

Hope I'm not being obtuse, but let me rephrase my question:
Seen any reliable reports of this canard yet?
