Explosions in Chicago District Injure Four
Two married couples who picked up a bag from a bank window ledge were injured in one of two blasts in downtown Chicago. A Puerto Rican Nationalist group claimed responsibility. The four, questioned by police, said they found a dark leather bag at First National Bank of Chicago and, fearing a bomb, discarded it after seeing dynamite-like contents. The bag exploded two blocks east, shattering windows but causing only minor damage. Authorities searched for a third device and noted the attacks may be linked to the Puerto Rican parade.
