Attacks
On November 24, 1984, the embassy was attacked by four grenades, damaging cars but causing no injuries. It was committed by Marxist terrorists belonging to the Popular Forces 25 April (PF-25) group, calling the embassy an American imperialist threat to Portuguese independence. The next month, four mortar shells were fired by the group at the compound, again only causing damage to cars. On February 19, 1986, a bomb exploded in a diplomat's car at the checkpoint of the embassy compound. The bomb was discovered by the Portuguese guards and managed to run away just before it detonated and destroyed the vehicle. This attack was also attributed to PF-25.
