Symbionese Liberation Army

Categories: News | Groups & Organizations | Activists

  • The Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) was a radical American organization that practiced urban guerilla warfare during the 1970s. They exploited mainstream media to publicize their domestic terrorism, which included bank robberies, two murders, and, most notoriously, the kidnapping of heiress Patty Hearst. Although many were killed or convicted in the 70s, many escaped for decades. The last known member was tried and sentenced in 2004.
