Description: "05/28/1970: Shortly after 10:00 p.m. a Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ) bomb exploded near the Queen Mary's Veterans' Hospital doctors' residence, on Queen Mary Rd. Radio station CKAC received a warning, 15 minutes before the explosions. Another bombing rocked the city's west end about the same time as a trio of masked men, armed with machine guns, raided the University of Montreal's Social Centre, taking about $60,000 from a Credit-Union and Grocery Store Co-op (see Activity 05/28/1970). The bombings were thought to have been a cover for the robbery (This incident refers to the bombing of the doctors' residence)."
