Description: "04/03/1972: Shortly after police announced the discovery of a bomb outside the Cuban ambassador's Rockcliffe residence, another device was found lying on a snow bank about 30 yards from the Cuban Embassy. Two boys found the device at 2:30 p.m. The two boys moved it to an adjacent laneway and informed their parents of their discovery. Military bomb disposal experts removed the device. The police stated that the device was the same type as the one placed on 29 March, and described it as being about 12 inches long and three inches wide, wrapped with black tape and with wires protruding from it. Two pieces of paper, with red markings bearing the words ""Miami"" and ""Florida"" were found at the scene."
