The Quebec Biker war ((フランス語:Guerre des motards); "Bikers' War") refers to the violent turf war that began in 1994 and continued until late 2002 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The war began as the Hells Angels in Quebec began to make a push to establish a monopoly on street-level drug sales in the province. A number of drug dealers and crime families resisted and established groups such as the "Alliance to fight the Angels". The war resulted in the bombings of many establishments and murders on both sides. It has claimed more than 150 lives,〔()〕 including some innocent bystanders such as Daniel Desrochers, an 11-year-old boy who was fatally injured by shrapnel as he was playing near a jeep that was blown up.〔Chad Skelton & Lori Culbert (July 30, 2004) ("Police Fear B.C. Biker War" ). Originally published by Vancouver Sun. Retrieved November 2, 2011〕 The war eventually ended when public outcry over the deaths of innocent bystanders〔(McGill Tribune, Bikers, Bill C-95, Drugs and Mom )〕 resulted in police pressure including the incarceration of over 100 bikers.〔(York University, Organized Crime in Canada )〕 In April 2009, over 156 members of the Hells Angels were arrested in Quebec, New Brunswick, France and the Dominican Republic mostly in connection to crimes related to the Biker war. The arrests solved at least 22 murders committed between 1992 and 2009. Four Hells Angels bunkers were also seized by police including one in Sorel-Tracy that was firebombed in 2008.〔(Massive police raids target Quebec, N.B. Hells Angels )〕 Dozens of arrests were previously made earlier in the year as part of Operation Axe in February and Operation Baladeur in March.〔(Dozens arrested in Quebec Hells Angels sweep )〕 ==See also== *Lennoxville massacre 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quebec Biker war」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
