MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1980 20 CENTS 5 hurt in worldwide errorist bombings By The Aitoclated PreiI Terrorist bombings in four of the world's major cities injured five people and left police puzzling over possible links between unfamiliar anti-Turkish and anti Swiss groups Two bombs went off yesterday in London, and one each in Los Angeles and New York. A fifth explosion occurred early today in Paris. There were no fatalities. Anonymous callers said the explosions in the United States and one of the London blasts were the work of Armenians angry over treatment by Turks. Other callers said anti-Swiss groups were responsible for the second London explosion and the one in Paris. London police said the two bombings there could be related, although different groups claimed responsibility. The blasts were 30 minutes apart and a police spokesman said it would be an "extraordinary" coincidence if they were not related. "But we are not sure about anything at all," said a Scotland Yard spokesman who asked not to be identified. In New York, four people were hurt, none seriously, when an unoccupied car blew up in front of the Turkish Mission to the United Nations just after 5 p.m. EDT, police said. At about the same time in Los Angeles, an explosion in front of a Hollywood travel agency owned by a Turkish immigrant shattered windows BOMB BLAST — Car in which bomb exploded burns vesterdav in front o( the Turkish in several nearby buildings.
