When a personal bodyguard to visiting French President Francois Mitterrand last week admitted planting explosives on the grounds of the French ambassador's residence in London as a test of British security, the incident became a test of international relations. British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher described the incident as `most regrettable' but refused to allow the furor to mar an otherwise successful state visit.
