In one day, four fires did $810,000 worth of damage to stores owned by U.S. merchants; unexploded devices have been found in the bathroom of a girls' school and, two weeks ago, at a U.S. Selective Service office in San Juan. In April, a bomb was uncovered in a San Juan hotel and was defused; bombs have damaged two other hotels...
