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 Marceline 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 longer recording of this newscast \u2013 with two virtually identical stories about the attempted bombing (instead of just one on this tape) \u2013 appears at Q 611<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

In connection with the Federal Bureau of Investigation\u2019s investigation into the assassination of U.S. Congressman LEO J. RYAN at Port Kaituma, Guyana, South America, on November 18, 1978, a tape recording was obtained. This tape recording was located in Jonestown, Guyana, South America, and was turned over to U.S. Officials in Guyana and subsequently transported to the United States.<\/p>\n

On March 6, 1979, Special Agent (name deleted) reviewed the tape numbered 1B47 #114. This tape was found to contain the following:<\/p>\n

Side A: A two minute recording of a radio station KDO, Ukiah, California news cast, reporting a 1972 bomb attempt on a People\u2019s Temple bus in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

The summary is generally accurate, although the radio station call letters are different and the date on the box in which a nearly-identical tape was found was two years later.<\/p>\n
