Bombings Rock Puerto Rico and U S Capitol
Five congressmen were wounded after more than 20 shots rang out from a spectators gallery in the U S House on March 1 1954. A militant group claimed responsibility noting fronts in Puerto Rico and the United States and describing a new Peoples Revolutionary Army. Explosions shattered windows at Banco de Ponce Exxon building and an Eastern Airlines office as police assessed a sophisticated device. No injuries were reported beyond the wounded officials, and the city recalled the incident as the largest string of blasts seen in memory.
