The bombing of the ITT building in New York City was a significant act of political protest that occurred in late September 1973. It was undertaken by a group claiming to represent leftist concerns about corporate America’s role in shaping political outcomes in Latin America. Specifically, the attack was a direct response to the alleged involvement of the ITT Corporation in the military coup that overthrew the democratically elected government of President Salvador Allende in Chile earlier that month. The bombing not only caused damage to the building but also served to bring attention to the broader issue of U.S. intervention in Latin American affairs. It underscored the discontent among various political factions regarding the perceived threat posed by foreign corporate interests, particularly in the context of Cold War politics.This incident also intersected with a period of heightened anti-U.S. sentiment in Latin America, where many viewed corporate interests as being inextricably linked with U.S. governmental policies that supported authoritarian regimes. The combination of these factors contributed to a volatile environment, fostering protests, and violent actions by groups opposing U.S. foreign policy. The bombing became emblematic of the increasing radicalization of political protests and set the stage for future acts of defiance by those who objected to American corporate influence in their domestic matters.
