The Front de libération du Québec (Quebec Liberation Front]]) also known as the FLQ was a nationalist and Marxist revolutionary group in Quebec, Canada. It claimed responsibility for more than 200 bombings, including the bombing of the Montreal Stock Exchange in 1969, along with the deaths of five people. These attacks culminated in 1970 with what is known as the October Crisis, in which British Trade Commissioner James Cross was kidnapped and Quebec Labor Minister Pierre Laporte was murdered.
