...relatively small size of the ETA organization is misleading. It can probably call on no more than 300 men for terrorist activity at any time; another 300 provide intelligence, cover and shelter. But as Carlos Garaicoechea, president of the moderate Basque Nationalist Party says, "You cannot minimize the strength of ETA." Its resources include an estimated $3.5 million stolen from banks and factory payroll offices last year, as well as uncalculated amounts of revolutionary taxes" exacted from frightened Basque businessmen...

In Washington, Assistant Secretary of State for Asian Affairs Richard Holbrooke declared that the Administration was "extremely disappointed" by the incident...
...white and blue Nationalist flags adorned many buildings in Chinatown. Only one edifice sported the red and yellow People's Republic flag. Discounting the police, the streets and sidewalks played host to a smaller crowd than usual, while the normal bustle was muted. Most of the people out on the streets were of Chinese descent. They tended to stop and stand fairly often--to watch the police and one another...
