Phone-Activated Bombs Rip Zagreb Exchange

[Globalization41]

Zagreb, Croatia (via Berlin), Associated
Press, The New York Times, Monday,
September 15, 1941: Untraced telephone calls
put through to two secret numbers in Zagreb's
central exchange were revealed tonight to have
set off the explosion yesterday of four bombs
that wounded more than 12 German soldiers.
Two employees of the exchange's night shift
fled. The explosions cut Zagreb off from
provincial cities and Berlin for more than 24
hours. [Could this have been the first phone-
activated terror bombing?] ... Six Croat soldiers
in another part of the city who at first were
believed to have been wounded by machine-gun
fire were actually attacked by four men armed
with pistols, it was said tonight. ... Their
assailants were described as "communists," and
three of them were captured. The fourth was
shot dead on the street, clutching an
unexploded hand grenade. He was left lying
there as an example to the populace.
