Police removed 700 pounds of dynamite from a rented garage in New Haven, Conn., and a published report said authorities believe the explosives could have been part of a cache hidden by a revolutionary group. Officials have been unable to determine who rented the garage where the dynamite--enough to level a city block--was found, police Sgt. Melvin Wearing said. The officer declined comment on a report in the New Haven Register that authorities believe the dynamite had been stolen by associates of the “May 19” coalition during a 1980 robbery in Austin, Tex. The coalition is an offshoot of the Weather Underground.
