While driving through Oakland, California on their way to a benefit concert for the Redwood Summer campaign to save California's coast redwood trees, activists Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney were injured when a pipe bomb detonated under the driver's seat of Bari's car.

Oakland police and the FBI approached the explosion as a terrorist incident, and arrested Bari and Cherney.

In their investigation, they tried to prove that the activists were transporting an explosive device that accidentally detonated.

Cherney and the late Bari's estate were awarded $4.4 million, to be paid by the FBI and Oakland Police Department.

Ben Rosenfeld, attorney for Darryl Cherney, had requested that an outside lab perform DNA testing on the Cloverdale bomb.
