The castle, 250 miles south of San Francisco, is now owned by the state. A little-known terrorist group, the New World Liberation Front, announced that it had set off the violent blast. Unless the Hearsts contributed $250,000 within 48 hours to the defense of the Harrises, warned the unit, the "Hearst castle will only be the beginning."
