Description: "12/10/1968: Two plastic bags, containing four sticks of dynamite, wiring, and a number of detonators, were placed in a parking lot that faced the British High Commission at about 10:45 p.m. The material was not arranged in such a way as to be able to explode. A night watchman saw two or three men dump the bags near a wall and escape in a car with Quebec license-plates."
