Soviets stop microwave
bombardment of embassy
United Press International
MOSCOW — The United States
Embassy in Moscow said Tuesday
authorities have halted their mi
crowave bombardment of the em
bassy building.
An embassy spokesman issued the
following statement:
“Neither the east nor south signal
has operated since the end of April,
hence we have detected no radiation
since that time from those sources.
Occasionally we have picked up
brief, very low-level emanations
from unknown locations.”
Since the early 1960s and possibly
even further back the Soviets have
beamed microwave radiation at the
12-story stucco embassy building in
downtown Moscow for reasons that
have never been made clear.
The microwave bombardment hit
a peak in 1975 and 1976, prompting
strong official American protests and
the installation of special aluminum
screens to deflect radiation on the
upper floors.
The bombardment came from two
sources, according to technical ex
perts. One station was located on the
roof of a huge Soviet building di
rectly across the street from the em
bassy; the second was located one
block down the street in a building
that also houses the U.S. Commer
cial Office.
The station across Tchaikovsky
Boulevard from the embassy was ap
parently knocked off the air late last
January when a fire damaged upper
floors and the roof of the Soviet
building.
Since then the radiation beamed
from the south station down the
block has gradually been reduced
until, on April 27, it completely shut

I TEHRAN, Iran — An Islamic rev
olutionary firing squad shot five sol
diers Tuesday, bringing to 250 the
number of executions since the shah
fled the nation.
| In the port city of Khorramshahr,
midentified gunmen, believed to be
.^embers of an extremist Arab na-
Bonalist group, gunned down two
■evolutionary guards, witneses said.
P The five army men — two lieuten
ants, one sergeant and two privates
- were executed in Tehran’s Cen
tral Prison, authorities said.
- SLnVlLtK Witnesses in Khorramshahr, 621
. . imiles south of Tehran, said the two
itisjuctu revolutionary guards apparently
equipment were ambushea as they stood on
' guard duties in the port city’s cus-
Texas Ave | toms quarter.
| The guards, both in their early
£0s, appeared to have been killed in
taliation for a mass protest in Khor-
mshahr Tuesday against the Arab
ationalist gunmen.
An estimated 40,000 men and
women marched through Khorram-
l-shahr in Kuzhestan Province for four
hours demanding the Arab na
tionalist groups be disarmed.
I? Several government attempts to
^dissolve the Arab groups and seize
their arsenals of smuggled weapons
have failed since Arab gunmen
plashed with government forces in
||Chorramshahr on May 13, resulting
in injuries to 11 people.
Arab nationalist groups who were
jtctive underground until the
wnfall of Shah Mohammed Reza
'ahlavi in February are openly de-
anding full autonomy for Khuzes-
tan and have rejected a government
Irecondition to surrender arms he
re any talks on greater participa
tion in national affairs.
| Khomeini, 79, alarmed by a death
list circulated by a rightwing ter-
rist group, has tightened security
for himself and other leaders of the
Islamic republic.
Khomeini ordered the central mil
itary police to take over security
duties from the unofficial militia, the
first clear indication he took se
riously death threats by the self-
proclaimed killers of two ofhis aides.
The ultra right-wing Forqan ter
rorist group announced its gunmen
intended to make another attempt to
assassinate Khomeini’s close aide,
Hashemi Rafsanjani, who survived
gunshot injuries suffered in an attack
Friday.
nia 47 cafe, a gathering place for
right-wing extremists in the elegant
Salamanca district.
Government sources said Premier
Adolfo Suarez was preparing to an
nounce action to quash political vio
lence that in four days has killed 17
people.
Members of the Fuerza Nueva
(New Force) party, which has its
headquarters across the street from
the California, have turned the
sidewalk outside the cafe into a
shrine for the eight people who died
there in a bomb blast Saturday.
Right-wingers deposit flowers
there, recite the rosary, sing the
Francoist hymn, “Caro al Sol,” and
give the straightarmed fascist salute.
The civil government said in a
statement riot police were ordered
to move in when demonstrators
“acted with extraordinary aggres
siveness,” broke plate-glass windows
and slashed automobile tires.
The clash was unusual because
right-wing extremists make support
of police and the military a main
tenet of their political program.
