Description: "01/20/1986: A hooded gunman fired four rounds with a M-16 rifle through the window of the Romanian Consulate shortly after 4 p.m. The bullets shattered the front window and went through an inside glass partition. A visiting Romanian trade official was wounded in the hip. The Consulate had received no recent threats; however, two days after the incident, a man telephoned Le Journal de Montreal to say that he participated in the assault and was a member of the Aiud terrorist organization. He threatened more attacks against Communist targets. Police investigation pointed to the involvement of the Iron Guard and linked this incident with one in Toronto in 02/1986. "
