On what basis was the number changed from 50 to 120 and the one external link removed? john k 06:31, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

According to the NY Post [1], FALN had planted over 100 bombs in NYC during the 1970s. That alone negates the 50 bombs that once was in the article. Several more bombs were planted in Chicago, plus NYC had a few more bombs go off in the early 1980s. The Fraternal Order of Police have the number at 130. [2] The US Senate when condemning Clinton for clemency of 16 members of FALN had the number at 130[3], as did the US House of Rep. [4] Other sources have it higher than 135, others have it at 120 or lower. Since 120 seems to be in the ballpark, 50 doesn't.

As for the removal of links, they were all dead. Now, if you want to repost them, go ahead.Lokifer 06:54, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
