Elaborate Argentine security arrangements, including a special 5000-man security force, and the terrorists' fear of creating a negative popular reaction to their cause, have apparently prevented terrorist actions in Argentina. One World Cup-related bombing occurred in Portugal, where a bomb exploded at the Argentine embassy to protest the repressive measures of the Argentine government. The World Cup matches will conclude on 25 June. 3.5(c) .ssekEr 3.5(c) 7 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2596566 3.5(c) NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2596566 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2596566 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2596566 3.5(c) 14 14 June 1978 CHRONOLOGY OF SIGNIFICANT INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST ACTS Date 9 June 1978 Argentine Embassy in Portugal Bombed Place: Portugal, Lisbon On 9 June a bomb was detonated at the Argentine embassy in Lisbon.
