Description: "00/00/1999: Peter Anthony Houston, 32, known for his involvement in the Canadian racist movement, was convicted of building a potentially deadly pipe bomb that was planted in a highway restroom in northeastern B.C. In 1999, the bomb was left at a rest stop on Highway 29 between Fort St. John and Hudson’s Hope, B.C. However, when Houston was charged with attempted murder and intent to cause an explosion, the case was never made public and took years to go to trial.
