Description: "10/30/1965: Sometime in the evening a bomb was discovered near the main door of the drill hall on Grande Allee St. (Citadel armoury) after police received an anonymous call. Police found a package wrapped in brown paper. It contained four sticks of dynamite, a clock, and a dry cell, but no detonator. This was one of three bombs placed in various parts of the city during the weekend, leading police to the conclusion that it was a publicity stunt. According to a police spokesman, some of the bombs carried the letters ""FLQ"" (Front de Liberation du Quebec)."
