The uprising was fostered by extremist reactionary groups as the result of a rightist landslide in Spain’s recent parliamentary elec- tions, broke out almost multaneously last night at many points. Terrorists, armed — with rifles, pistols and bombs, be- gan their devastating work | shortly after the first session of the new parliament, strik- ‘ing first at the nation’s main communication lines, Terrorists succeeded in partially isolating northeast- ern Spain. Most of the hainibings and other acts of violence were committed furtively under | the cover of darkness, but a few open clash¥s between rioters and officers resulted in severe casualties.
