GREAT SURPRISE IN LONDON
Received March 1, 5 p.m. TEHERAN, February 2!)
Details of the attempt on the life of the Shah go to show that the bombs were thrown from the roof of a house in a narrow street. One exploded in the air, and the other struck the ground, killing the outriders near the Shah's unoccupied motor car.
The cavalry escorting the Shah fled, and the latter, who occupied a carriage in the rear, returned to the Palace. A search in the house in the vicinity for those who committed the outrage proved fruitless
The news of the occurrence caused the greatest surprise in London, as the situation at Teheran has recently been quiet.
