Nine Dead
Bomb Outrage SENSATION IN BUENOS AIRES Anti-Fascists Blamed. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) Buenos Aires, May 23. A powerful bomb exploded with terrific force at the Italian Consulate and injured several people of whom three died instantly and seven are in hospital. Four members of the Consulate and sixteen 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 due to a defect in the bomb which prevented the full force being exerted. Squads of detectives rushed to the Consulate where they were utterly mystified as to the identity of the perpetrators or the motive. Scenes of wild terror followed the outrages. A later message states that nine are now dead and 40 injured. The explosion threw the Consulate staff and scores of persons in the building in a panic. It is believed the outrage was inspired by an anti-Fascist organization.—Australian Press Association.
