Description: 08/12/1964: Two youths wearing grey uniforms and claiming the rebirth of the Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ) tied up and threatened an elderly janitor and his wife in their apartment at 5 a.m. This appeared to be motivated by the janitor's eviction of a convicted FLQ member three days earlier. Two former penitentiary guards were arrested in connection with this incident.
