(20,889 posts)Rudolph, a member of The Army Of God, went on a streak of terror during the '90s when he bombed abortion clinics across the South.
He upped the ante in Atlanta during an Olympic celebration at the Centennial Park when he planted a bomb that killed two and wounded 150 in 1996. The media was quick to blame security officer Richard Jewell, but when the FBI finally announced Rudolph as the bomber, he went on the run.
Protected by sympathizers he managed to stay holed up for nearly two years until found rummaging through a dumpster in (I think) North Carolina. He was already on the FBI top ten list for three years prior.
Rudolph was a terrorist in the true sense of the word. He invoked a sense of fear to exert political pressure. The Centennial Park bombing proved that it was no longer just about his "right to life" issues as he also used terror to bring attention to what he called "socialism".
