Buried Gold, Silver Removed From WTC


NEW YORK (AP) - Most of the $200 million of gold and silver buried under a building destroyed in the World Trade Center attack has been recovered.

``I think we have most of it. I'm not sure we have all of it yet,'' Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (news - web sites) said Wednesday.

The metals stashed in a Bank of Nova Scotia vault at 4 World Trade Center must be moved ``because authorities need to demolish the building,'' said Pam Agnew, a spokeswoman for the Toronto-based bank.

Armored cars were seen Wednesday heading to and from the site, and Giuliani confirmed that they were carrying the treasure. Agnew declined to disclose any details of the removal effort.

``For safety and security reasons, I don't want to give away any details that could put people's lives at risks,'' she said.

The building occupied by Bank of Nova Scotia was reduced to mostly rubble along with the twin towers that collapsed after the Sept. 11 attack.

The eight employees who guarded the vault before the attacks escaped unharmed.

The precious metals were insured.
