The Symbionese Liberation Army demands $4 million more to release kidnap victim Patty Hearst.

The United Federated Forces of the Symbionese Liberation Army was a small, American militant far-left organization active between 1973 and 1975; it claimed to be a vanguard movement. The FBI and wider American law enforcement considered the SLA to be the first terrorist organization to rise from the American left. Six members died in a May 1974 shootout with police in Los Angeles. The three surviving fugitives recruited new members, but nearly all of them were apprehended in 1975 and prosecuted.

Patricia Campbell Hearst is an American actress and member of the Hearst family. She is the granddaughter of American publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst.
