NEW YORK (AP) — A violent leftist jailed 25 years for her role in some of the most notorious radical acts of the early 1980s has died in Brooklyn.
Marilyn Buck was 62 and had been paroled from a federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas on July 15. She died Tuesday.
In 1981, Buck was part of group of militants who ambushed a Brink’s armored car at a mall north of New York City. A guard and two police officers were killed during the heist.
Buck spent years underground before her capture in 1985.
During that time, she was involved in a bombing campaign that targeted the U.S. Capitol and other government buildings in New York and Washington.
