Description: "11/00/1971: A band of leftist guerillas robbed the Royal Bank of Canada of $50,000. On 01/12/1972, a day-long battle with a group of suspects resulted in police using bazookas and mortars, with eight policemen and four guerillas dying in the firefight. Plinio Matos Moquete, a communist lawyer accused of being the group's leader, and Harry Jiminez Castillo, who managed to escape, were promised an impartial trial by President Joaquin Balaguer if they surrended. The fight began at a guerilla hideout fourteen miles east of the capital and led to riots by students in Santo Domingo."
