It is now established that six police officers were injured in the incident at Wanchai last night when three bombs were thrown at them. All except two police constables had been admitted to hospital.
Three of the thirty odd suspected objects found in the Hunghom area were proved to be real bombs. No one was injured.
Three bomb carriers were arrested by the police in Wanchai last night. Two bombs carried were proved to be genuine while the third was a hoax.
During yesterday, four explosions occurred on Hong Kong Island and ten bombs were found and in Kowloon three bombs were discovered.
