Since then, a different, previously unheard-of radical group has claimed credit for the fire-bombing of an empty patrol car belonging to university police. No group has yet admitted vandalizing a campus drugstore, firing armor-piercing bullets at an electric power transfer station on campus, or setting fires in the car of a law student who is defending radical demonstrators and in several dormitories, including one housing black students...
