In 1984 a [[radical]] [[communist]] group calling themselves the [[John Brown Anti-Klan Committee]] published the following communiqué:

Our action carries a message to the U. S. imperialist ruling class: we purposely aimed out attack at the institutions of imperialist rule rather than at individual members of the ruling class and government. We did not choose to [[kill]] any of them at this time...<ref>[http://nobsopus.blogspot.com/1983/11/armed-resistance-unit-bombs-us-capitol.html "Armed Resistance Unit Bombs US Capitol"], Death to the Klan, Winter, 1984, No.3.</ref>}}

inutes before the blast, a caller claiming to represent the “Armed Resistance Unit” had warned the Capitol switchboard that a bomb had been placed near the chamber in retaliation for recent U.S. military involvement in Grenada and Lebanon.
The force of the device, hidden under a bench at the eastern end of the corridor outside the chamber, blew off the door to the office of the [[Exalted Cyclops]] and [[Deomcratic party|Democratic Leader]] [[Robert C. Byrd]]. A stately portrait of [[Daniel Webster]], located across from the concealed bomb, received the explosion’s full force. The blast tore away Webster’s face and left it scattered across the tiles in one-inch canvas shards.
Federal agents arrested six members of the so-called Resistance Conspiracy in May 1988 and charged them with bombings of the Capitol, Ft. McNair, and the Washington Navy Yard. In 1990, a federal judge sentenced Marilyn Buck, Laura Whitehorn, and [[Linda Evans]] to lengthy prison terms for conspiracy and malicious destruction of government property.<ref>https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/minute/bomb_explodes_in_capitol.htm</ref>
In 1954, five congressmen were wounded on the floor when 4 terrorists opened fire from the visitor area. President [[Jimmy Carter]] later commuted their sentences.<ref>https://blogs.loc.gov/headlinesandheroes/2020/05/1954-shooting-at-the-u-s-capitol/</ref>
Shortly before midnight on July 2, 1915, police responded to the U.S. Capitol where an explosion had just rocked the Senate wing.<ref>https://boundarystones.weta.org/2015/06/22/terrorism-hits-home-1915-us-capitol-bombing</ref>
Security has become a major issue since the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]], where a fourth hijacked plane on a suicide mission may have been headed to the White House or the Capitol. The serenity and repose formerly offered by [[Frederick Law Olmsted]]'s original capitol grounds landscape have been replaced with concrete barriers and machine-gun-wielding police who greet visitors and passersby with suspicion, in stark contrast to the air of friendliness and openness that used to prevail. The landscaping around the Capitol grounds, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, was partly sacrificed during 1999-2003 to construct the new Capitol Visitor Center and security points.
