Weathermen on wiretap case prompts secret review
Justice Department said five Weather Underground members were overheard on taps requested by FBI Director J Edgar Hoover though none of their premises were the direct target. The overheard conversations, not linked to charges, accompany indictments of 18 Weather Underground members for bombing conspiracies in Chicago New York Detroit and Berkeley.
