Terrorists
Domestic terrorism is not a new phenomenon in the United States.
On March 1, 1954, Puerto Rican freedom fighters - or terrorists - led
by Lolita Lebron, opened fire in the US House of Representatives
(Congress). Five congressmen were wounded. They protested the United
States' "military occupation" of their country. The attackers were
apprehended, imprisoned and released in 1979. They are considered
heroes by the island's independence movement to this very day.
