The Bombing
After several hours, Police Commissioner Gregore J. Sambor and Managing Director Leo A. Brooks decided that the best choice of action would be to drop a bomb to destroy the bunker above the house to create a hole for tear gas. The bomb, made of the mining explosive Tovex and a military explosive C-4, was dropped at 5:27 pm. It failed to destroy the bunker or create a hole, but it did start a small fire.
