Mussolini Survives Two Assassination Plots In Rome
An archist named Lucelis hurled a home made bomb at Mussolini’s motor car on a Rome avenue, wounding several bystanders while the dictator escaped unhurt. The would be assassin was seized and executed by Mussolini’s Black Shirts. A subsequent shot near Mussolini’s open car drew only a glancing hit to his coat. Zamponi, the assailant, was killed by bodyguards. Mussolini then named Arturo Bocchini director of police and imposed strict movement controls. The Ovra secret police grew, and Mussolini expanded emergency powers, suppressing elections and reducing the franchise to paid fascist dues.
