Atlanta Bomber Will Spend Life Behind Bars
By Victoria Ward, PA, in New York

A man who was on the run for more than five years will plead guilty to bombing the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and three other terrorist attacks, the US Justice Department announced tonight.
Eric Rudolph reached a plea deal which will avoid the death penalty, but put him behind bars for the rest of his life.
The 38-year-old will accept responsibility for a series of bombings including a 1998 explosion at a Birmingham, Alabama, abortion clinic which killed a police officer and critically injured a nurse.
The July 1996 blast ripped through the Olympic Centennial Park during the Summer Games, killing one spectator and seriously injuring more than 100 others.
Attacks on an abortion clinic and a gay nightclub in the Atlanta area in 1997 injured a total 55 people.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said: “The many victims of Eric Rudolph’s terrorist attacks in Atlanta and Birmingham can rest assured that Rudolph will spend the rest of his life behind bars.”
As part of the deal, Rudolph confirmed the location of more than 250 pounds of dynamite buried in the mountains in North Carolina.
Three locations were relatively near populated areas, including one place where he had buried a fully-constructed dynamite bomb with a detached detonator, the justice department said.
Rudolph will plead guilty to the charges at hearings in both Birmingham and Atlanta next Wednesday. He has agreed to waive all appeals and will have no possibility of parole.
Jury selection for Rudolph’s trial on the 1998 bombing charges began on Wednesday and he had faced the death penalty.
Rudolph had been on the run for more than five years when he was arrested behind a supermarket in North Carolina in May 2003. |

Was this guy another self-described "pro-lifer" who KILLS for his twisted causes? It's such a terrible contradiction of principle.

Phoney Christians, just like Dumbya, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, and all the other holier-than-thous.
A True Christian would never do the things these people do.
A True Christian is more like a True Pagan, a True Buddhist, a True Hindu, a true Atheist, or a True Unified Field Theorist.
Respect for Life and Peace
