Description: "06/00/1965: Two Canadian National Railway (CNR) freight trains were derailed, one of them coming from New Brunswick, and the other from Ontario. A third CNR train was attacked with a Molotov cocktail. In claiming responsibility in their publication ""La Cognee,"" the Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ) said the attacks were to protest the import from abroad of products Quebec could produce itself (sometime in early June)."
