HONG KONG TO COMMONWEALTH OFFICE (D.T.D.)
30 August 1967
Addressed to Commonwealth Office telegram No. 1323 of 30 August. Repeated for information to POLAD Singapore, Washington and Canberra.

My immediately preceding telegram.
Comment in Communist newspapers on the "execution" of Lam Bun, the Chinese radio commentator, and the publication of a "murder" list, which was not, however, carried by the major Communist papers, indicate that a campaign of personal attacks may be being planned. There is no indication of the import of small arms, though there have been unsubstantiated rumours in the past that guns are held in some of the major CPG concerns. It is thought that some small arms would be necessary if an effective assassination campaign of any size is to be launched.
Commonwealth Office pass Priority Washington No. 282 and Canberra No. 84.
