Description: "04/03/1972: A bombing (a plastic bomb) of the Cuban Trade Commission in Montreal killed one Cuban security guard and wounded seven other people. The National Integration Front (FIN), an anti-Castro Cuban group, claimed responsibility for the attack. Two devices exploded in the commission. A phone call the next day claimed that a group called the Young Cubans carried out the attack, in the name of Alejandro Del Valle, who died in the Bay of Pigs invasion. The bomb had been planted in the false ceiling in the hallway. Authorities arrested seven Cuban officials and charged six of them with possessing weapons and interfering with the police investigation."
