Four members of the Consulate and 16 immigrants were injured. A second bomb, also of tremendous power, exploded shortly after in a chemist’s shop in a crowded working class quarter of the city, but nobody was injured, on account of a defect in the bomb, which prevented itg full force being exerted.
