FLQ bomb-maker Pierre-Paul Geoffroy terrorized Quebec during the October Crisis

When Montreal police raided a grimy flat on St-Dominique Street in the city’s Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood in March of 1969 searching for a bomber belonging to the terrorist Front de Libération du Québec, they quickly realized they had found their man.

“When they opened the door, they saw a picture of Che Guevara,” recalled Bob Côté, the celebrated Montreal police bomb disposal expert, who at 89 still has vivid memories of the time, “… and they found bits of red and yellow wires, characteristic of detonators.”
