Muharem Kurbegovic ( , ) , known as The Alphabet Bomber , was a Yugoslav terrorist who firebombed the Pan Am Terminal at Los Angeles International Airport , killing three and injuring eight . He was allegedly motivated to commit the attack after being charged with masturbating in a dance hall . Although he was found not guilty the arrest record resulted in his inability to get a business license for a taxi dance hall and also his application for US citizenship . This resulted in his personal vendetta against a judge and the commissioners grew into demands for an end to immigration and naturalization laws , as well as any laws about sex
