## Assassination Attempt
|
|
|
|
On the 24th of May, 1990, a car she was driving around Oakland,
|
|
California had a pipe bomb explode under her seat, seriously injuring
|
|
her and placing her in critical condition.
|
|
[FBI](Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation "wikilink") bomb squads and
|
|
Oakland police rapidly descended on the scene and she was accused of
|
|
carrying explosives, which was dismissed by the district attorney and
|
|
herself for insufficient evidence. This led to multiple conspiracy
|
|
theories about who really planted the bomb.

|
|
|
### Theory 1: Far-Right Terrorists

### Theory 2: Darryl Cherney
