A new Florida law was in effect today designed to end terrorist bombings of the type that hit synagogues and schools throughout the South last year.

The measure was passed by the legislature this week-end. It sets a maximum ten year prison term penalty on a conviction for shooting or throwing “any missile which would produce death or great bodily harm” into a building.
