On this day, 17 July 1981, police found two milk crates full of petrol bombs in Bradford, England. They later arrested 12 young Asians, members of the United Black Youth League, and charged them with making and conspiracy to make explosives. All defendants were subsequently acquitted by jury, after arguing they were made to protect their community from racist attacks.
