Investigators theorized it might have been committed by anti-Yugoslavia Croatians or agents of the Yugoslavian government itself, intending to discredit the opposition. The attack occurred during a four-year period of heightened terrorism within the United States: 1975 was especially volatile, with bombings in New York City and Washington, D.C., and two assassination attempts on President Gerald Ford.<\/p>\n<p class=\"event-source\"><em>Source: Wikipedia &#8211; 1975<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>            .class-1976-auto-post {<br \/>\n                background: linear-gradient(135deg, #f5f7fa 0%, #e3e7ed 100%);<br \/>\n                padding: 30px;<br \/>\n                border-radius: 15px;<br \/>\n                margin: 20px 0;<br \/>\n            }<br \/>\n            .event-badge {<br \/>\n                background: linear-gradient(45deg, #d4af37, #f4d03f);<br \/>\n                color: #2c3e50;<br \/>\n                padding: 10px 25px;<br \/>\n                border-radius: 25px;<br \/>\n                font-weight: bold;<br \/>\n                text-align: center;<br \/>\n                display: inline-block;<br \/>\n                margin-bottom: 20px;<br \/>\n                text-transform: uppercase;<br \/>\n                letter-spacing: 1px;<br \/>\n                font-size: 14px;<br \/>\n            }<br \/>\n            .event-date-display {<br \/>\n                font-size: 20px;<br \/>\n                color: #667eea;<br \/>\n                font-weight: bold;<br \/>\n                margin-bottom: 15px;<br \/>\n                text-transform: uppercase;<br \/>\n            }<br \/>\n            .event-content {<br \/>\n                background: white;<br \/>\n                padding: 25px;<br \/>\n                border-radius: 10px;<br \/>\n                line-height: 1.8;<br \/>\n            }<br \/>\n            .event-source {<br \/>\n                font-style: italic;<br \/>\n                color: #7f8c8d;<br \/>\n                margin-top: 20px;<br \/>\n                padding-top: 15px;<br \/>\n                border-top: 1px solid #ecf0f1;<br \/>\n            }<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>50 Years Ago Today December 29, 1975 On December 29, 1975, a bomb detonated near TWA baggage reclaim terminal at LaGuardia Airport in New York City.
