Ayers Bombing Victim in Public Email

John Murtagh, who said his home was firebombed by the Weather Underground in 1971, has gone public in an email. Murtagh's father was a New York State Supreme Court justice presiding over the trial of members of the Black Panther Party charged in a plot to bomb New York landmarks and department stores. Murtagh stated: "Barack Obama may have been a child when William Ayers was plotting attacks against U.S. targets -- but I was one of those targets. Barack Obama's friend tried to kill my family."
