EXPLAINING THE LATTER'S REASONS FOR CARRYING OUT THE
SEVEN BOMBINGS REPORTED IN REFTEL. BOTH MESSAGES
WERE RECEIVED IN ONE ENVELOPE. THE PREDOMINANT THEME
OF THE MESSAGES WAS "DEFENSE OF THE

"DIARIO DE LISBOA" AND INFORMAL EMBASSY TRANSLATION
OF THESE SEGMENTS FOLLOWS:
2. BEGIN TRANSLATION: "THESE ACTIONS FORM PART OF
THE DEFENSE OF THE CONQUESTS OF MARCH 11,
SPECIFICALLY THE LIQUIDATION OF THE LARGE MONOPOLIES
AND LAND-HOLDINGS (LATIFUNDIOS), WHICH PERMITTED THE
WORKERS TO ESTABLISH SOME CONTROL OVER THE VITAL
SECTORS OF OUR ECONOMY."
--"WORKERS IN THE TEXTILE AND ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES
IN THE DISTRICT OF EVORA, ORGANIZED WITHIN THE FP-25
OF APRIL, CARRIED OUT THREE RETALIATORY ACTIONS
AGAINST THE PROPERTY OF THE ADMINISTRATORS OF THE
MULTI-NATIONAL SIEMENS AND OF LEE-PORTUGAL.
--"THE WORKERS CANNOT ALLOW THE ARBITRARY DECISIONS
COMMITTED BY THESE COMPANIES IN SERVICE TO
INTERNATIONAL CAPITALISM TO 60 UNPUNISHED."
(IN REGARD TO LEE-PORTUGAL) "THE CAPITALISTS IMPOSE
AN UNBRIDLED REPRESSION OF FEAR AND INSTABILITY CON
THE WORKERS)
(IN REGARD TO SIEMENS) "IT EARNS MILLIONS AND
MILLIONS AT THE COST OF EXPLOITING THOUSANDS OF OTHER
FAMILIES IN LESS DEVELOPED COUNTRIES." "IN PORTUGAL,
THE ATMOSPHERE WITHIN THE FACTORY CAN BE CUT WITH A
KNIFE AND FOR THE ADMINISTRATORS THE WORKERS ARE
OBJECTS, NOT PERSONS.'
--ONE OF THE COMMUNIQUES STATES THAT SINCE THE
NOVEMBER 25, 1975 SWING TO THE RIGHT IN PORTUGUESE
POLITICS, POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT HERE HAS BEEN
CHARACTERIZED BY "A GENUINE ASSAULT ON THE
NATIONALIZED COMPANIES, PERMITTING THEIR
DECAPITALIZATION AND FINANCIAL RUPTURE, THEREBY
OPENING THE ROAD TO RE-PRIVATIZATION OF KEY SECTORS
OF THE ECONOMY AND THE CREATION OF NEW MONOPOLIES."
--THE MESSAGES END WITH THE SLOGANS: "FOR THE
DEFENSE OF THE NATIONALIZATIONS." "DOWN WITH THIS
LACKEY-OF-MONOPOLY-CAPITALISM GOVERNMENT." "FORWARD
WITH THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY." "THE STRUGGLE
CONTINUES." END TRANSLATION.

SUBJ: BOMBING AT ESSO OFFICE
1. A FEW MINUTES AFTER MIDNIGHT THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 14, AN
EXPLOSION SHATTERED WINDOWS AND DAMAGED THE ENTRANCE TO THE ESSO OIL
COMPANY'S MAIN OFFICES IN NICOSIA. THE EXPLOSIVE DEVICE
HAD BEEN PLACED IN THE DOORWAY LEADING INTO THE BUILDING.
THERE WERE NO INJURIES FROM THE BLAST. POLICE FOUND
ADDITIONAL UNDETONATED EXPLOSIVES UNDERNEATH AN ESSO COMPANY
VEHICLE THAT WAS PARKED NEARBY IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING.
AS OF MID-DAY ON MARCH 15, THE POLICE HAD NOT YET UNCOVERED
A MOTIVE FOR THE BOMBING, NOR HAS ANY GROUP CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THE INCIDENT.
2. ACCORDING TO LOCAL POLICE SOURCES, THE EXPLOSIVES WERE
PREPARED BY AMATEURS. THE CHARGE THAT EXPLODED CONSISTED
OF A SMALL AMOUNT OF DYNAMITE WRAPPED IN A CLOTH THAT WAS
SET ON FIRE. A FUSE THAT RAN TO THE SIMILAR DYNAMITE CHARGE
PLACED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PROPERLY PREPARED, AND
THE DYNAMITE THEREFORE DID NOT EXPLODE.
3. THE POLICE HAVE NOT RULED OUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE
ATTACK WAS POLITICALLY MOTIVATED, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOTHING
TO CONFIRM THIS SO FAR. ONE LOCAL NEWS REPORT ON THE MORNING

MESSAGE / ANNOTATION:
OF MARCH 15 SPECULATED THAT THE BLAST WAS LINKED TO THE
RECENT U.S. VETO OF A UNSC RESOLUTION CONDEMNING ISRAELI
ACTIONS IN SOUTHERN LEBANON. THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY,
HOWEVER, THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN CONNECTED WITH A RECENT LABOR
DISPUTE INVOLVING CYPRIOT EMPLOYEES OF SEVERAL FOREIGN-
OWNED OIL COMPANIES, INCLUDING ESSO.
4. BASED ON THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION, WE TEND TO BE
SKEPTICAL THAT THE ATTACK WAS POLITICALLY MOTIVATED. FOR
ONE THING, NO GROUP HAS YET CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY. FOR
ANOTHER, THE PREPARATION OF THE EXPLOSIVES WAS DONE IN AN
AMATEURISH FASHION THAT IS UNCHARACTERISTIC OF PAST TERRORIST
BOMBINGS ON CYPRUS.
5. WE HAVE TAKEN STEPS IN CONSULTATION WITH THE POLICE TO
ENSURE EFFECTIVE PROTECTION OF AMERICAN BUSINESS FACILITIES
HERE, AND, AS NOTED IN NICOSIA 1398, WE ARE ALSO SEEING TO
THE UPGRADING OF PHYSICAL SECURITY AT OFFICIAL USG INSTALLATIONS
IN NICOSIA. WE WILL REPORT FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE
MARCH 14 ESSO EXPLOSION AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE.

TO RETURN ON AIR FRANCE TO MIAMI, SATURDAY, MARCH 16 AT THE
EXPENSE OF THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT WHICH IS ARRANGING THE NECESSARY

OTHER REGARDS, COOPERATION OF LOCAL FRENCH AUTHORITIES HAS BEEN
OUTSTANDING).
2. EXPECTING PRO-INDEPENDENC GROUPS, CONDEMNATION OF BOMBING HAS
BEEN UNIVERSAL. CONSULATE HAS ALSO RECEIVED NUMEROUS FORMAL
EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY AND CONCERNS INCLUDING FROM PREFETS OF
BOTH GUADELOUPE AND MARTINIQUE, SUB-PREFET OF POINTE A PITRE AND

MESSAGE / ANNOTATION:
FAYAD ACCUSED PRESIDENT BETANCUR OF "JUMPING OFF
THE PEACE TRAIN".
-
4. (U) FAYAD STATED THAT THE M-19 IS CONVERTING
ITSELF FROM A GUERRILLA FORCE INTO AN ARMY AND INTO
A POLITICAL MOVEMENT BUT NOT A PARTY.
-
5. (U) FAYAD SAID THAT THE M-19 HAD NOT ENGAGED IN
ANY KIDNAPPING SINCE IT SIGNED ITS CEASE-FIRE
AGREEMENT, AND THAT THE M-19 CONDEMNS TERRORISM. HE
ADDED THAT THE M-19 WILL NOT GIVE UP ITS ARMS, FOR TO
DO SO WOULD BE A "HUMILIATION". HE NOTED THAT THE
CEASE-FIRE AGREEMENT DID NOT REQUIRE THIS. HE TERMED
THE 60C REQUEST FOR THE M-19 TO SURRENDER ITS
ARMS AS "BLACKMAIL". FAYAD SAID THE M-19 DOESN'T
CARE WHETHER THE CONGRESS PASSES A PARDON LAW OR NOT.
-
6. (U) FAYAD SAID THE M-19 HAS NOT YET DECIDED IF
IT WILL CONTEST THE MARCH 1986 CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.
HE SAID THE M-19 WILL NOT SIGN ANY PEACE ACCORDS
WITH THE GOC, AND THAT THERE WILL BE NO PEACE
UNTIL BETANCUR UNDERTAKES CONCRETE REFORMS. FAYAD
DECLARED THAT THE M-19 WILL SIGN A PEACE AGREEMENT
WITH A NEW COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT IN 1986. THIS
GOVERNMENT WILL NOT BE OF EITHER LIBERAL CANDIDATE
VIRGILIO BARCO OR OF CONSERVATIVES CANDIDATE ALVARO
GOMEZ, SINCE BY THEN A "POPULAR FORCE" WILL BE
IN POWER, ACCORDING TO FAYAD.
-
7. (U) FAYAD'S DECLARATION THAT THE M-19 IS BREAKING
THE CEASE-FIRE HAD BEEN RUMORED (REFTEL) AND COMES
HOURS BEFORE A LARGE M-19 DEMONSTRATION IS SUPPOSED
TO TAKE PLACE IN BOGOTA'S PLAZA BOLIVAR. M-19
SPOKESMAN ANTONIO NAVARRO WOLFF TOLD THE PRESS MARCH 14
THAT THE RALLY WILL BE PEACEFUL.
-
8. (C) COMMENT: GIVEN FAYAD'S SUBSEQUENT DECLARATION,
THE EMBASSY CANNOT DISCOUNT THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE
RALLY COULD PROVOKE VIOLENCE. IN ANY EVENT, FAYAD'S
DECLARATION PRESAGES A DETERIORATION OF COLOMBIA'S
INTERNAL SECURITY SITUATION. END COMMENT.
