FLQ leader Paul Rose, major figure in October Crisis, dies at 69

"A convicted terrorist who played a pivotal role in Quebec's 1970 October Crisis, and later remained active in political causes, has died at age 69.

After suffering a stroke, Paul Rose passed away this morning in a Montreal hospital, surrounded by his family.

He was a member of the FLQ cell that kidnapped Quebec cabinet minister Pierre Laporte in 1970.

Rose was convicted of Laporte's murder and sentenced to life in prison, but he was paroled in 1982."
