Group claims responsibility for Quebec army centre bombing Canwest News Service July 2, 2010 11:51 AM The Canadian Forces recruiting office at 245 St. Georges St. in Trois-Rivières was rocked by an explosion early Friday morning.Photograph by: Google Maps, .A little known group has claimed responsibility for the bombing that ripped through a Canadian Forces recruitment office in Trois-Rivieres, Que., early Friday, according to media reports. Quebec provincial police said no one was injured since the building was closed when the blast occurred at 3 a.m. Sgt. Eloise Cossette of the Surete du Quebec said the local police force received a phone call some 20 minutes before the explosion. "It was what we call a bomb threat," Cossette said. A group calling itself "Resistance internationaliste" issued a statement Friday claiming responsibility for the attack. Montreal newspaper La Presse reported Friday that it received an e-mail from the group noting it is opposed to Canada's military practices and wants to prevent a "further indoctrination." The Surete du Quebec was not immediately available Friday to comment on the group's claim. The police are investigating the incident with a team of bomb specialists and sniffing dogs. A large security perimeter has been set up around the building, located in downtown Trois-Rivieres near a bus station and a hotel. So far, no one in the area has been evacuated. The extent of the damage has not yet been assessed, but the building's windows and door were shattered. A spokesman for the recruitment centre said the attack comes as a "shock". Neighbours said they were woken up by a major explosion. There are reports all federal buildings in the area have been put on high alert, but Sgt. Cossette said the SQ has not yet given such an order. It is not yet known if the group is the same as the Initiative de resistance internationaliste that claimed responsibility in 2006 for bombing the car of a spokesman for Canada's petroleum industry and in 2004 for a failed attempt to topple a Hydro-Quebec transmission tower carrying electricity to the United States. canada.com
