TO IMMEDIATE F.C.M. TELEGRAM NO. 211 OF 29 MARCH, 1971. INFO PEKING.

MY TELEGRAM NO. 210 TO YOU.

INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE PLACING OF SATURDAY'S BOMB WAS NOT AN OFFICIALLY INSPIRED COMMUNIST ACT, THOUGH IT COULD HAVE BEEN AN INDIVIDUAL COMMUNIST INITIATIVE. THERE IS NO PRESENT EVIDENCE THAT

NY OTHER KNOWN SUBVERSIVE.GROUP WAS RESPONSIBLE.

2. AT 1325 HOURS YESTERDAY (SUNDAY) A SECOND BOMB WAS REPORTED. IT WAS AT A KCHLOON MULTI-STOREY CAR PARK AND WAS LATER

DETONATED AFTER INVESTIGATION. INDICATIONS ARE THAT IT WAS A REAL

BOYS NOT A FAKE, THOUGH WE ARE NOT YET CERTAIN.

3. POSTERS NEAR IT SAID 'DO NOT TOUCH' AND 'PRIVATE PROPERTY

REFLECTING MIRROR'.

4. EARLY THIS MORNING THERE HAVE BEEN FURTHER REPORTS. ON INVESTIGATION 3 PROVED FAKE BOMBS. 3 REPORTS PROVED MISTAKEN, THE OBJECTS INVOLVED NOT APPEARING TO HAVE BEEN DELIBERATELY

FAKED TO LOOK LIKE BOMBS.

5. UNLESS ANY FURTHER INCIDENTS JUSTIFIES AN IMMEDIATE TELEGRAM

I PROPOSE SENDING A BRIEF DAILY SITREP IN THE LATE AFTERNOON FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, SO LONG AS THE NEED REMAINS.

6. GRATEFUL YOU KEEP HONG KONG LONDON OFFICE INFORMED.
