The Boston Courthouse Bombing

On April 22, 1976 a bomb went off at Suffolk County Courthouse in Boston. 22 people were injured in the blast, but no one was ever tried for the crime.

Kevin Galvin joins Don today to explore who bombed the courthouse, why they did it, and who was caught up in it.

Kevin has been a correspondent for the Associated Press, a feature writer for The Seattle Times, and deputy national editor of the Boston Globe. His book is 'Troubled Times: The Boston Courthouse Bombing of 1976'.

Produced by Sophie Gee. Edited by Aidan Lonergan. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
