Description: 03/22/1972: A bomb exploded at the east end Vancouver home of a member of the Federation of Russian Canadians. The bomb possibly comprised two sticks of dynamite and a pocket watch timer. Similarities in the timing devices suggested a connection between this event and a bombing at the Russian People's Hall in Vancouver on January 1972. There were no injuries.
