FOLLOWING A RESPITE FROM THE long string of arsons within the Montreal, Canada Italian community, another five firebombings were launched in a 2-day span earlier this week. All of them had the identifier of being ignited by a Molotov cocktail in the same manner that more than 20 arsons were committed between last August and this past January. See the Firegeezer report HERE for a review of that string. All of them were presumed to be connected with a “turf war” between two organized gangs with Mafia connections.
Early Tuesday morning there were three attacks on restaurants, each of which were easily handled by the Montreal FD and damages were fairly low. On Wednesday a paint company in an industrial park was the target of a Molotov cocktail, police said. A small fire broke out, but it was quickly extinguished by firefighters. Later that night a carpet store in a shopping center was firebombed and it suffered extensive damage while the neighboring shops has lesser, mostly smoke damage.
QMI
Police say that only one of the attacks is believed to be mob-related, the arson of the Cafe Vegas Tuesday morning. But the similarity of all five along with the timing is suspicous in itself. The previous arson sprees were also committed in batches.
