"Clinton said "people died" in 1970s bombings by a radical group of which an Obama acquaintance was a member. In fact, the deaths were of three members of the Weather Underground itself, who died when their own bombs accidentally exploded."

That's still people dieing because of their terrorist activity. Also that may not be the only incident involving people's deaths from their bombs, there isn't conclusive beyond all reasonable doubt levels of evidence that it would take to get a conviction, but bombs that have killed people have been tied to the group.

Also when the 3 members died, they where preparing a bombs that where set up as anti-personnel weapons, packed with nails, that where planed to be set off at a Ft. Dix NCO dance and possibly the Butler Library at Columbia University.
