The San Francisco Police Department Park Station bombing occurred on February 16, 1970, when a pipe bomb filled with shrapnel detonated on the ledge of a window at the San Francisco Police Department's Golden Gate Park station. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, "Investigators in the early '70s said the bombing likely was the work of the Weather Underground, and not the Black Liberation Army,"but the crime was never solved. Brian V. McDonnell, a police sergeant, was fatally wounded in its blast; Robert Fogarty, another police officer, was severely wounded in his face and legs and was partially blinded.
No one was ever charged with the crime although six years the FBI was close to indicting Ayers wife and fellow terrorist Bernardine Dohrn around six years ago.

Yeah-like Obama’s FBI is going to do anything that will impact that chimp negatively.
It depends on what Washington has determined to be the crime they go after the most fiercely.
A few years ago an abortion clinic in Birmingham was bombed. I don’t think there has ever been a manhunt with more resources placed into finding the perpetrator. I was camping in North Georgia mountains about a year later and regularly saw BATF and other Federal agents looking for him. I do mean literally looking for him as they would stop at an overpass, get out and scan the mountains with binoculars.
I bet the emphasis on catching the one in which Ayers is suspected has been minimal.
Gee - sounds like a good story plot for Cold Case TV show.
What are the chances they use this as inspiration!
In this week's episode they are investigating a bombing by the Weather Underground...
