Description: "09/23/1968: An incendiary-type bomb, consisting of a clock, a battery, match heads, and a jar of gasoline, was found behind the Black Watch armoury on Bleury St. The bomb was believed to have been planted on either the 20 or 21 September, and had failed to explode. A watchman at the armoury reported finding broken windows during his regular rounds on the weekend. The bomb was apparently thrown at the windows in an attempt to place it inside the armoury but smashed into the protective bars and fell outside. The armoury had also been the target of a Front de Liberation du Quebec attack in 1963. The bomb was described as ""very similar"" to one planted behind a liquor store on Denis street on 8 September. An explosives expert said it was unlikely the bomb could have exploded."
