From la presse, word that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are investigating communiques purporting to come from the Front de liberation du Quebec (FLQ).
In the new stories, RCMP have reportedly questioned members of the Societe Saint-Jean-Baptiste, a nationalist association, as well as other well-known nationalists.
Radio-Canada reports that police have turned up at places of work and stopped individuals on the street as part of their investigation.
As Canadian Press reports, the letters, delivered in mid-November and mid-January threaten bomb attacks against a variety of public infrastructure sites such as bridges and railroads, as well as in the supposedly anglophone "cities" of Beaconsfield, Baie d'Urfe and Mont-Royal.

The story was reported by cbc.ca and other English-language media in January.
