A federal appeals court upheld the convictions of six self-proclaimed revolutionaries for a series of bombings in the New York area. The U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the 1986 convictions in the 10 explosions and attempted bombings between 1982 and 1984 that were aimed at corporate offices and military installations. The United Freedom Front claimed responsibility for the bombings, saying it was protesting apartheid in South Africa and U.S. imperialism in Central America.
