This source, a book called Political Violence and Terrorism in Modern America: A Chronology, documents over 3,100 significant terrorist incidents in the United States between 1954 and 2005, many of which were bombings. There were over 30 significant revolutionary leftist bombings listed in the last ten weeks of 1970. This 1970 report, Radicalism and security, reports that in the year before, there were 32 bombings in Seattle, 100 successful and unsuccessful bombings in San Francisco, and 24 bombings in Detroit. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, most of the bombings were by anti-war activists and usually targeted unoccupied government offices in the middle of the night, but there were fatalities and injuries. The 1970 Sterling Hall bombing killed one person and injured three. The 1970 Greenwich Village townhouse explosion killed three Weatherman bomb makers and injured two. The 1970 San Francisco Police Department Park Station bombing killed one officer, and injured nine others. List of Weatherman actions documents the many bombings carried out by that group over the years, and a successor group, the May 19th Communist Organization, carried out seven bombings in the early 1980s.
