Three minutes after the bomb detonated, a man called the authorities warning that an explosion would occur within three minutes. Police officials were unsure if the phone call was connected to the incident or a coincidence. More security was placed in the Hall of Justice as a result of the bombing. Hours before this incident, a bomb was thrown at the Orange County Courthouse in Santa Ana California (197009040005).

Following the attack there was a gunfight between the Toledo Police and Black Panthers. The Police raided the headquarters of the Black Panther party an hour after the incident which directly led to the demise of the BPP within Toledo. John McClellan was accused of carrying out the attack, but after three trials, two of which resulted in hung juries, he was acquitted.

Ten minutes before the blast, the police received a phone call from the Weathermen warning of the attack. The Weathermen claimed that the bombing was committed "in retaliation for what happened during the week." The Queens Branch House of Detention, which was adjacent to the courthouse, also received a warning call. There were riots at the detention center earlier in the week. Moreover, forty-five minutes after the incident a caller warned that there was a bomb at the Manhattan House of Detention for Men. Police searched the facility but did not find a bomb. There were riots at that detention center earlier in the week as well.

10/24/1970: Fifteen to eighteen Black militants, dressed in military fatigues and armed with rifles, opened fire on police headquarters in Cairo, Illinois, United States, three separate times during a six hour period. Police were able to repel each of the three attacks. One Black militant was injured and one bystander was hit by a stray bullet. Buildings in the surrounding area were also damaged by bullets. In response to this attack, the mayor claimed that there was an "open armed insurrection" taking place in Cairo.

This might be part of a multiple attack with (197010240003) which took place in Cairo an hour earlier. Snipers fired upon the police headquarters less than a week earlier (197010210003). This first attack on the police station took place at 8:15 PM, the second attack took place at 10:15 PM, and the third attack took place at 2:10 AM on October 25th. The final attack took thirty-five minutes and hundreds of rounds were fired. Some of the gunmen emerged from the building that acted as the headquarters of the Black United Front, an organization which was directing a boycott of White owned businesses in Cairo at the time. The Mayor of Cairo, Albert Thomas, believed that some of the Black militants were members of the Black Panther Party, however, the Black Panthers denied any involvement in the attacks. State troopers were ordered into Cairo as a result of the attacks.

10/25/1970: Unknown perpetrators sent a mail bomb that exploded at the main post office in Washington D.C., United States. The bomb caused no damage to the building, but one person was injured. Minutes after the explosion, an anonymous phone caller told the post office, apparently unaware that the bomb already detonated, to evacuate the building because there was a bomb. Authorities were unable to determine who the mailbomb was intended for.

Authorities believed that the perpetrators were 'hippie-types.' Some officials suspected that this attack was in response to a proposed ban on drinking liquor at the beach.

10/28/1970: Suspected revolutionary leftists bombed a police car parked at the Whitefish Bay Police Station in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, United States. The blast was coordinated to go off during the middle of a shift change, however there were no casualties. Two police cars were damaged in the attack. This incident was believed to be linked to the many bombings in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area during this time period.

Authorities were unsure whether the pipe bomb was placed under a pile of leaves or attached under the gas tank of the vehicle. Authorities linked the bomb used in this incident with the attempted bombing at Likeside Laboratories in Milwaukee Wisconsin on September 4th (197009040004). Both bombs were built according to an instruction manual circulated by revolutionaries. The Whitefish Bay Chief of Police believed that this incident might also be linked with bombs discovered at Whitefish Bay State Bank, Honeywell Inc. and the Wisconsin Motor Division (197006290002, 197007000001, and 197008050001). There were other bombings in the Milwaukee area during this time period as well (197012220001, 197007220002, and 197007210004).

This incident occurred a short time after the lumber yard of Cairo Illinois was set on fire (197011070002). Wiley Anderson was a sergeant on leave from the army. Members of the United Front, an organization directing an African American boycott of White owned business in Cairo, believed that the sniper fire was coming from two different directions. The United Front also stated that Walter Garrett, who was walking with Wiley Anderson at the time, was also shot. However, the police dispute this claim. The FBI stated that there was no evidence that any federal statutes were violated and the police were unsure who shot Wiley Anderson.
