Another Montreal café has been firebombed, the ninth such incident in what has become a dangerous trend across the city. Police say the attacks, involving Molotov cocktails thrown through café and bar windows, are probably linked and could be connected to an underground turf war. The owners of the targeted businesses have been mostly unwilling to speak out about the attacks, but the president of the Union of Quebec Bar Owners is urging them to co-operate with police to prevent more violence.
