Description: "07/17/1966: At about 2:30 a.m., a Molotov cocktail was thrown from a distance of 125 feet at the residence of the personnel manager of the Dominion Textile plant in Magog. The shock of the explosion blew out windows and caused minor damage to the interior of the home. About 2,200 textile workers from the plant had been on strike for almost four months. This incident followed the death of a 17-year old Front de Liberation du Quebec member who blew himself up while setting a bomb at the West-end Montreal Dominion Textile plant three days earlier. Earlier in the strike a bag full of paint was spattered against the side of the house."
