Death of Bill Harris Renews Focus on Symbionese Liberation Army

Original: After Death of Bill Harris, a Look Back at the Symbionese Liberation Army https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/us/sla-symb

Bill Harris, a leading figure in the Symbionese Liberation Army, has died, prompting the New York Times to publish a retrospective on the 1970s militant group best known for kidnapping heiress Patty Hearst. Readers are revisiting the group's violent history, Hearst's transformation into member 'Tania', and Harris's later imprisonment and release.

Why now: Harris's death has renewed public and media interest in the SLA's notorious history.
