Description: "07/27/1967: At 11:40 a.m. an anonymous telephone caller, identifying himself as a Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ) member, told police that bombs had been planted at city hall in south shore Greenfield Park and in local mailboxes. Police came across an Expo 1967 flight bag in the vestibule of the city hall building. An improvised bomb inside it was exploded in a nearby park by a Canadian Army specialist. He thought that it probably could not have exploded, and noted that it did not add much, if anything, to the force of the plastic charge he used. Nothing was found in the mailboxes."
