Police Nab Six Posing as Tipsy Party-Goers
Undercover officers arrested six alleged Weathermen members before a bank firebombing in New York. They posed as drunk party-goers to lure suspects away from four Molotov cocktails set to ignite the First National City Bank branch on Madison and Swist. The six, three men and three women, deny membership while facing multiple charges, including arson attempts and conspiracy, with no bail after a judge noted a possible publicity motive.
