FLQ Crisis Deepens With Abductions In 1968 Perce Strike
In 1968 at Perce on the Gaspe Peninsula, 25 youths occupied a building and mayor Ab ner Biard said locals frightened tourists. The FLQ escalated its campaign with the abductions of Laporte and Cross, both 49, in a seven year war that began with bombings. Laporte was seized while playing with his children on Oct 10, and Cross was taken from his Montreal home five days earlier. The group issued seven ransom demands for 23 detainees and later claimed Laporte’s execution after the government refused to yield. Cross reportedly remained alive in good health in a later communique.
