The Montreal Stock Exchange bombing was a domestic terrorist bombing of the Montreal Stock Exchange building in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on February 13, 1969.[1] Perpetrated by the Quebec separatist Front de libération du Québec (FLQ), the bombing happened approximately 40 minutes before the end of trading. It injured 27 people and destroyed a large portion of the trading floor, visitor gallery, and the building's northeast wall. [1][2] The blast caused nearly $1 million worth of property damage.[3]
The attack was one of the FLQ's biggest in its bombing campaign, and was the culmination before the October Crisis of 1970.[4]
