A Canadian Forces recruitment office in Trois-Rivières may have been the target of an early-morning bomb attack on Friday. Investigators are still trying to piece together evidence after an explosion blew out the office’s windows at about 3 a.m., but the local public security department says it received a phone call just before the blast warning that a bomb was inside. Bomb specialists and sniffing dogs have been sent to the scene and all federal buildings in the area have reportedly been put on high alert. No one was injured in the blast.
