Description: "12/22/1969: The driver of a mail pickup truck was slightly injured in a bomb explosion that completely wrecked his truck and a nearby mailbox. The explosive device was contained in a package he picked up at an earlier stop and that he had deposited near the back of the van. As he was returning to the truck, the bomb went off. The explosion was equivalent to that of one or two sticks of dynamite. There were no reports of telephoned threats or tips before the explosion."
