On March 1, 1971, a bomb exploded in the Capitol building. While the explosion did not injure anyone, it caused some $300,000 in damage. A group calling itself the Weather Underground claimed to be behind the bombing and said it was in protest of the ongoing U.S.-supported bombing of Laos. https://www.history.com/news/us-capitol-building-violence-fires#:~:text=On%20March%201%2C%201971%2C%20a%20bomb%20exploded%20in,of%20the%20ongoing%20U.S.-supported%20bombing%20of%20Laos%20
