Description: "09/01/1983: A male telephoned a Canadian Press reporter warning that the next Soviet plane that would land in Montreal would be destroyed ""in retaliation for the latest Russian acts of barbarism."" This was an apparent reference to the destruction of a Korean Airlines jet by Soviet interceptors. Nothing untoward occurred, but one plane's departure was delayed due to extra security precautions."
