Description: "10/15/1967: Around noon, an office building housing the Cuban Trade Mission and a number of professional firms was badly damaged by a homemade bomb that exploded on its eighth floor. The bomb, consisting of several sticks of dynamite with an alarm clock timer, was placed in the offices of Cubana, Seguin and Associates, a publishing company. No one was injured, but considerable damage resulted from the explosion; floors and walls collapsed and pipes throughout many offices split open. Although planted on a lower floor, police believed that the Cuban mission was the target. No one claimed responsibility."
