Guards report no injuries in Lisbon
Terrorists bomb U.S. embassy
Associated Press
LISBON, Portugal — A bomb
placed in the car of a U.S. Embassy
employee exploded Tuesday in the
embassy compound, sending
flames and shattered metal slashing
through the air but causing no inju
ries, guards reported.
State Department officials in
Washington said the bomb was dis
covered during a routine check by a
security guard and was located in
the trunk of a car of an American
or Portuguese employee of the em
bassy.
The officials said the car was
moved to an isolated area in the
compound where the bomb went
off.
“There was no indication of any
material loss except for the car,”
said one official, who spoke with
the condition he not be identified.
He said no one asserted responsi
bility for the bombing, but embassy
officials suspected the Popular
Forces of April 25 (FP-25), a left-
wing Portuguese group.
A guard working for the Portu
guese security firm that checks all
vehicles entering the grounds of
the complex said after the bomb
was discovered all personnel were
cleared from the area.
Embassy public affairs officer
Steve Chaplin told reporters the car
belonged to an embassy employee
who had returned to finish up some
work after the embassy had closed
at the normal hour of 5:30 p.m.
The bomb went off shortly before 7
p.m.
A U.S. diplomat, speaking on
condition of anonymity, said the
man whose car was bombed was a
friend of his and he was safely away
when the device went off.
It was not known if the driver
had left the vehicle for the security
check, or was warned to get out al
ter the device was found.
The diplomat said the bomb
probably had been placed in them
while it was parked somewhere in
Lisbon outside the embassy, and
was set to explode in the street since
the terrorists would not have
known the employee planned lore
turn to work.
Monday’s bombing was the third
attack or attempted attack on ihe
embassy since Oct. 27, 1984.
It was then that police lounda
home-made mortar launcher with
two 60mm shells ready to be fired
into the compound.
The device was dismantled and
no group claimed responsibility.
Value of Philippine peso plunges
Associated Press
MANILA, Philippines — The
Philippine peso took its biggest
plunge in 15 years Tuesday, and
there were indications an opposition
boycott called by Corazon Aquino
was hitting the nation’s already trou
bled economy.
Some top businessmen quit as ad
visers to President Ferdinand E.
Marcos. The country’s biggest man
ufacturing company experienced
falling stock prices after Aquino
urged the boycott to protest the dec-
laration of Marcos’ controversial
Feb. 7 presidential election victory.
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — There’s no
point in doing away with medicine
capsules in light of a poisoning
linked to Tylenol capsules since “a
dedicated tamperer” could poison
other forms of medicine, too, a
spokesman for drug manufacturers
said Tuesday.
John T. Walden, senior vice presi
dent of the Proprietary Association,
which represents non-prescription
drug makers, acknowledged that the
poisoning death and the discovery of
cyanide in another bottle of capsules
in the same Bronxville, N.Y., com
munity had caused a “very large”
The peso’s value fell by 10.3 per
cent Tuesday, from 19.98 to the dol
lar Monday to 22.04 in trading at the
foreign exchange center.
Elsewhere, state prosecutors filed
multiple murder charges against Ar
turo Pacificador, a powerful Marcos
ally in the National Assembly, and
5,000 protesters took to the streets to
denounce election fraud and what
they claim was U.S. support for Mar
cos.
At a nearby church, Jose Concep
cion, chairman of the National
Movement for Free Elections, a citi
zens vote-monitoring organization
known as Namfrel, wept for a volun-
public relations problem for drug
companies.
But major technological steps
against drug-tampering may not be
in sight, despite crash efforts by the
companies, Walden told reporters.
However, he also said, “I think the
industry is very confident in the sys
tems they now use” to prevent tam
pering.
He defended the industry’s safety
record, saying the current uproar is
about “two capsules of one version
of one company’s medication found
in one neighborhood of one commu
nity.”
Billions of pills are still being sold
on shelves nationwide, and Walden
said they are as safe from tampering
teer who was shot to death when he
tried to stop gunmen from stealing
ballot boxes during the election.
Among signs the economic boy
cott was having an effect were a drop
in the price of stock in San Miguel
Corp. and reports that several banks
had unusual withdrawals. San Mi
guel stock traded Tuesday at 55
cents a share, down from Friday’s 70
cents and the Monday close of 57.5
cents.
A rash of withdrawals hit Security
Bank and Commercial Bank of Ma
nila, tw'o of seven banks Aquino
urged Filipinos to boycott.
won’t work
as the industry can make them.
Officials of Johnson Sc Johnson,
parent company of McNeil I-abo-
ratories, which makes Tylenol, said
Monday that production of Tylenol
capsules would be stopped.
However, Walden said, “I he rest
of the industry has no plans at this
time to walk away from capsules.”
Asked if the technicians were dis
cussing a relatively new system of
sealing capsules by sound waves —
leaving them in one piece rather
than two and thereby perhaps mak
ing tampering more noticeable —
Walden said that system was being
discussed along with many others.

Lebanon for
2 prisoners
Associated Press
TYRE, Lebanon — Israeli
troops and armor swarmed over
south Lebanon with air and naval
support Tuesday searching for
two comrades captured bv Mos

kill one unless Israel withdraws
A Moslem extremist group said
it had killed a Lebanese'jew kid

the raid.
Helicopter gunships strafed
suspected guerrilla hideouts to
support the hundreds of Israeli
troops on the ground. Jet fighten
crisscrossed the skies, breaking
the sound harrier over Beirut,

Lightly armed guerrillas
fought advancing Israelis in the
olive groves and tobacco fields.
Lebanese radio stations claimed
the resistance was stiff, but secu

pockets of resistance.
The captives were taken Mon
