A Wave of Terrorism Over France: Twenty dead, 146 wounded in fifteen months time. Thirteen criminal attempts since July 20. France had never seen such a wave of terrorist violence. Most of these actions are imputed to international terrorism (as a matter of fact, one should add some 350 blasts due to internal antagonisms). Armenians from Asala take hostages at the Turkish Consulate. The Vice Consul will be wounded and his life-guard shot. Here, a terrorist threatens a member of the consulate staff, Paris
