NEW YORK, June 1-Files
seized in a Baltimore apartment
used by self-proclaimed revolution-
aries contain detailed plans to bomb
the Old Executive Office Building in
the White House complex, accord-
ing to an assistant U.S. attorney
involved in the case.
Documents found in a file drawer
marked "in progress" include "very
detailed" plans to bomb up to a doz-
en other federal offices in the Wash-
ingtod area and a building at the
U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis,
said the prosecutor in Baltimore,
Barbara S. Sale.
Evidcnce seized by the FBI links
groups whose members used the
apartment to radical organizations
suspected of 16 bombings since
1982, including one in November
1983 at the U.S. Capitol, the pros-
ecutor said.
Investigators said the FBI found
explosives, timers, weapons, stolen
cars, cash and false identity papers
in recent raids in Baltimore and at
other suspected "safe houses" and
garages in Pennsylvania, New York
and Connecticut.
It could be that we just got lucky
and happened to catch them on the
brink of a wave of attacks," said
Sale. "Or it could be that this plan-
ning stage went on and on." No
timetable for carrying out the plans
was found, she said.
WASHINGTON POST
2 June 1985
[Sale and the U.S. attorney in
Baltimore, Frederick J. Motz, de-
clined to comment today when con-
tacted by The Washington Post.
FBI officials also had no comment.]
The raids stemmed from the May
11 arrest in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., of
Marilyn Jean Buck, wanted in a
botched 1981 Brinks armored car
holdup in New York in which 'a
guard and two police officers were
killed. Prosecutors say the holdup
was carried out by a coalition of
radical political, groups formed in,
the 1960s and 1970s.
Material seized in the New York
"safe house" included an aerial pho-
tograph of a Westchester County
prison, where Brinks holdup con-
victs Kathy Boudin and Judith Gil-
bert, are being held, prosecutors
said.
Sale said the "roomful" of docu-
ments seized in Buck's Baltimore
apartment provided an exhaustive
catalog of the plans and activities of
underground radicals thought to be
responsible for bombings and rob-
beries since the 1970s.
it is unbelievable-there's more
evidence than we can ever use," she
said in a telephone interview.
"There was a file drawer marked 'In
progress,' and it contained plans
and diagrams of a number of federal
buildings, with marks where the
bombs ought to be placed."
She said one plan diagrammed
the Old Executive Office Building,
which is part of the 181/2-acre White
House complex and houses admin-
istration offices, including an office
of Vice President Bush and the Of-
fice of Management and Budget.
The Secret Service, which is re-
sponsible for security at the com-
plex, had no comment on the matter
because criminal charges were
pending, spokesman Michael Tarr
said today. Buck's lawyer, Susan
Tipograph, did not return calls.
Sale declined to provide further
details or to elaborate on the link to
groups suspected in the earlier
bombings. '"There is evidence in the
apartment which dovetailed with
certain completed bombings," she
said. -
Sale declined to identify those
bombings but said there was evi-
dence linking the apartment to the
United Freedom Front. The UFF
has been linked by the FBI to bomb
attacks that include one in which a
Senate corridor in the Capitol was
damaged in November 1983.
Among the materials confiscated
at the Baltimore apartment were
assembled timing devices that could
be wired to explosives, Sale said.
