Kathleen Soliah, a fugitive since 1974, is arrested in St. Paul. Having lived under the name Sarah Jane Olson, Soliah was a presumed member of the Symbionese Liberation Army, the group that kidnapped Patty Hearst, and was wanted for the attempted bombing of two police cars. She had been featured on the television show America's Most Wanted a few months before her arrest.
