Summary:<\/b><\/p>\n

This tape is a recording made off the air of a Ukiah radio newscast about an attempted bombing of a Peoples Temple bus in San Francisco. Although 11 buses were parked at a junior high where the Temple was holding services, according to Temple spokesman Michael Prokes, the bomb had been planted under the bus used by Jim and Marcceline Jones. The fuse had burned down to a \u201cfraction of an inch,\u201d and the fact that it hadn\u2019t exploded was \u201creally a miracle,\u201d Prokes quoted an unnamed police detective as saying.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/b> A shorter recording of this newscast \u2013 with only the first airing of the two virtually identical stories about the attempted bombing on this tape \u2013 appears at Q 670<\/a>.<\/p>\n
