NEW YORK POLICE HEADQUARTERS BOMBING
New York Police Headquarters Bombing

On June 9, 1970, the Weather Underground bombed the New York City Police Headquarters, one of its first actions under the new, property-focused strategy adopted after the townhouse disaster. As would become the group's practice, a warning was phoned in beforehand and the building was evacuated; the blast caused damage but no deaths.

The bombing announced that the group had survived the townhouse catastrophe and would continue its campaign against symbols of state power — police, courts, and the military — while trying to avoid casualties.
