The Wall Street bombing in 1920 killed 38 people and injured 400 when a horse-drawn wagon containing 100 pounds of dynamite exploded in a busy financial district of New York City. A small group of Italian anarchists were suspected but never charged due to a lack of evidence. The bombing led to renewed investigations into foreign radical groups and the development of the U.S. Justice Department's early domestic intelligence division.

![The Wall Street bombing was an incident that occurred at 12:01 p.m. on September 16, 1920, in the Financial District of New York City. Thirty-eight were killed and 400 people were injured by the blast. A horse-drawn wagon passed by lunchtime crowds. The wagon then stopped across the street from the headquarters of the J.P. Morgan bank on the financial districts busiest corner. Inside, 100 pounds of dynamite with 500 pounds of heavy, cast-iron sash weights exploded in a timer-set detonation, sending the slugs tearing through the air. The horse and wagon were blasted into small fragment. . ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
