San Francisco Police Officers' Association Supports Effort to Bring Charges in 1970 Bombing Case
Posted on: Wednesday, 11 March 2009, 05:00 CDT
Murder Blamed on Weather Underground Member Bernardine Dohrn
Press Conference at 12:30 P.M. at National Press Club, Washington, D.C. on Thursday, March 12
WASHINGTON, March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- In a sensational letter to be released at a March 12 National Press Club news conference,* the San Francisco Police Officers' Association (SFPOA) tells Cliff Kincaid of America's Survival, Inc. that evidence in the 1970 bombing murder of a San Francisco police officer points to Weather Underground members Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers, two associates of President Barack Obama. The letter will be made public at a news event that will feature a former FBI informant in the Weather Underground saying that Ayers told him that Dohrn planted the bomb that killed Sergeant Brian V. McDonnell. The informant, Larry Grathwohl, has testified under oath before the U.S. Senate about the bombing plot.
"There are irrefutable and compelling reasons to believe that Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn, members of the terrorist group 'Weather Underground', are largely responsible for the bombing of Park Police Station and other police stations throughout the United States during their 'tour of terror' in the late 1960s and early 1970s," the SFPOA letter states. The SFPOA letter is signed by all five officers of the SFPOA.
In addition to releasing the letter, Jim Pera, a retired San Francisco Police Officer who was one of the first on the scene after the 1970 bombing, will describe the devastating impact of the blast.
Also, two reports on the Weather Underground will be released: "What was the Weather Underground?" by former Congressional investigator Herbert Romerstein, and "From Arms to Education to Political Power -- the Return of the SDS and the Weather Underground," by Cliff Kincaid, and internationally-renown blogger and researcher Trevor Loudon. The latter examines how members of the Weather Underground have regrouped to form a "new SDS" on college campuses.
*The News Conference will be held at 12:30 p.m. at the National Press Club, 529 14th St., N.W., 13th floor, Washington, D.C.
