Pentagon bomb blast claimed by radical group
A bomb exploded inside the Pentagon early today sending water gushing through a floor hole in a women’s washroom near the Air Force communications center. No injuries were reported though water damaged the Air Force computer center two floors below. The Weatherman group claimed responsibility by phone to the Washington Post, tying the act to Vietnam operations and Ho Chi Minh’s birth date. Security was tightened as antiwar protests planned to converge on Washington.
