Everything about Ch Nier Cell totally explained
The
Chénier Cell was a
Montreal-based cell of the
Front de Libération du Quebec (FLQ)
terrorist group in
Quebec whose members were responsible for a decade of bombings and armed robberies in the 1960s that led to what became known as the
October Crisis. The Chénier cell was named after the rebel hero of the
Lower Canada Rebellion Jean-Olivier Chénier.
History
As part of a violent attempt to overthrow the elected government and to establish a
socialist Quebec state independent of
Canada, on
October 10,
1970, five days after the FLQ's
Liberation Cell kidnapped
British Trade Commissioner
James Richard Cross from his Montreal home, members of the Chénier Cell kidnapped
Vice-Premier of Quebec and Labour Minister,
Pierre Laporte. Believing many others would follow in an uprising, their goal was to create an independent state based on the ideals of
Fidel Castro's Cuba.
On October 17, the day after the Government of Canada invoked the
War Measures Act, the Chénier cell announced that they'd executed Laporte. He was found strangled in the back of a stolen motor vehicle abandoned near the
Saint-Hubert airport, south of
Montreal. In late December, four weeks after the kidnappers of James Cross were found,
Paul Rose and the kidnappers of Pierre Laporte were located in a country farmhouse basement in
Saint-Luc, Quebec. They were put on trial and three were convicted for kidnapping and murder while Jacques Rose was convicted of being an accessory after the fact.
