Description: "11/03/1968: Explosives were planted at the rear of the Sunset Rd. home of the secretary of United Aircraft of Canada Limited. The bomb, which was about the size of a flashlight, was found on the lawn by the owner, and exploded at 1 p.m., shortly after police arrived. It cracked a couple of downstairs windows but caused no other damage or injury. Small lead pipe bombs were placed near the Town of Mount Royal homes of three other aircraft company executives, but did not explode. All of them were left in flower beds. The bombs comprised pieces of pipe two and a half inches round and about six inches long (see EventIDs: 1968110311E03T14002, 1968110311E03T14003, 1968110311E03T14004). They were filled with some kind of explosive and detonated by a chemical time fuse. The bombs were similar to the charges planted in September at the homes of 13 executives of Hawker Siddeley and De Havilland in Toronto, protesting their association with the American Vietnam War effort."
