In 1975 , Nikola Kavaja , a diaspora Chetnik-sympathizer living in Chicago and belonging to the Serbian National Defense Council ( SNDC ) , was , at his own initiative , responsible for bombing a Yugoslav consul 's home , the first in a series of attacks targeting the Yugoslav state in the United States and Canada . He and his co-conspirators were captured in a sting set up by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and convicted for terrorism for the incident and for planning to bomb two Yugoslav receptions on Yugoslavia 's National Day . Later that year , during his flight to receive his sentence , he hijacked the American Airlines Flight 293 with the intention of crashing the plane into Tito 's Belgrade headquarters , but was dissuaded ; he ultimately received a 67-year prison sentence
