Bombs exploded out side the Israeli Consulate and the U.S. Consulate in Zurich early yesterday morning causing damage estimated at $50,000 but no casualties. The explosions occurred ten minutes apart. The American legation and the office building housing the Israeli Consulate were unoccupied at the time.
A hitherto unknown group calling itself the “Revolutionary Cell” claimed responsibility for the bombings. According to police, the group is composed of international terrorists, including some Swiss. One of the latter is Bruno Brege who was once arrested in Israel and sentenced to several years imprisonment for smuggling explosives into that country.
