Terror Gangs Riot in Chicago After Bombings and Killing
Violence erupts in Chicago as gang activity returns with two bombings and a fatal shooting.

A separate blast damaged the Star publication plant in Chicago Heights, blamed on gang warfare aimed at curbing press coverage of underworld activity. A nearby downtown bombing at North Clark Street, near the Sherman hotel, injured no one beyond structural damage. Authorities seek motive and suspects amid escalating lawless action.
