On 27th May a number of armed men burst into the SWP head quarters in Los Angeles. They forced the four people present into a back room where they were made to lie face down on the floor. Whilst this was being done others of the attackers went _around the the offices breaking furniture and splashing petrol around. The attackers then set alight to the offices and made their get-way. The fire destroyed 3,000 dollars worth of equipment and 3,500 dollars worth of campaign literature. In the past two years there have been five attacks on the Young Socialist Alliance and the 5.W.P. premises.
