FBI Probes Bank Bombs Timed for Release of Prisoners
A muffled blast at a Bank of America in San Francisco over Labor Day weekend preceded discovery of time bombs in safe deposit boxes across three banks in Chicago and three in New York. The note linked the devices to a demand for political prisoner releases and included keys and box numbers. Authorities traced the ruse to the name Christopher Charles Mohr, a Chicago address, but officials deem the alias likely fictitious. Police disarmed the bombs after opening vaults per letter instructions. The case involved FBI, CIA, and IRS scrutiny with ongoing investigations into Mohr and the overall bombing scheme.
