071900 Attention Glover. Sitrep one. Except for a bomb found at Taipo
Market opposite Taipo Railway Station early this Thursday morning Hong
Kong passed another quiet day without

incidents.

Bomb was dismantled by Army ammunition expert.

In Tsuen Was police arrested one man and two women when they searched
three premises at 2 a.m. The three were detained for questioning
following a search of Room 427, Wing Hing House, Fourth Floor, Fuk Loi
Estate. Number of inflammatory documents were seized.

Inflammatory documents were also seized during two earlier searches in
Rooms 643 and 544, Block Nineteen Tai Wo Hau Resettlement Estate. These
two were searched between midnight and 1.45 a.m.

In afternoon group of seven villagers from Chinese Territory orossed
Border at Lo Fong Bridge hustled driver into a tea house at Ta Kwu Ling
Market and accused him of being a radio reporter.

Case of mistaken identity occurred when driver who had just driven party
of fireman to Ta Kwu Ling Fire Station wandered down to market place
carrying transistor radio.

Villagers, one of whom had earlier been shouting slogans through a
loud-hailer claimed that the radio was a tape recorder.

Argument was settled at the tea house within ten minutes when driver
demonstrated that object was in fact a radio.

They let him go with his transistor radio intact and returned to Chinese
Territory.

action against people found carrying bombs, So-called "mosquito
broadsheets" (containing threats of death againct leading personalities
one of whom had since been killed) had also recently appeared; and some
