An infamous photo of British diplomat James Richard Cross, pictured playing solitaire on top of a crate which supposedly contained dynamite. At the time of the photograph, Cross was a captive of a cell belonging to the Front de Liberation du Quebec. (Quebec Liberation Front). Cross' kidnapping was designed to spur the federal government into releasing 23 criminals who had acted in the name of the FLQ. as well as a cash payment and free passage to either Cuba or Algeria. As a British diplomat, Cross was a useful symbol for the FLQ to use as their rallying cry was centered around the elimination of English based discrimination against the local Francophone Quebecois. Their demands weren't met by the federal government and Cross was subsequently held hostage from the 5th of October to the 2nd of December, 1970 when the FLQ cell holding him made a deal with the government to release Cross safely in exchange for safe passage to Cuba for them and their families.
