The campaign against Café Mocha was a pure terrorist act carried out by the people from BOPA. A BOPA-member, Aage Nielsen, died on 18th October in German custody. His fellow group members planted an explosive bomb in Restaurant Mocca three days after his death as an act of revenge. This restaurant was favoured by the German soldiers. One of the saboteurs reports: "We were a few people who walked in there, carrying a package of 5 kg of astralite (the irony of fate, it was a German explosive). It was packed well - there were pieces of iron from old, sawn, unusable revolvers, shot cartridges, 12 mm. cartridges and other things that were hard-hitting. We put the package under the table and put three ignition pencils (sparklers) in it.… at 10.20 pm it blew.”
