News Eric Robert Rudolph and his taunts
Posted by Scott Freeman on Tue, May 15, 2007 at 3:29 PM
The AJC has featured an AP story on its website the past couple of days that says the victims of Eric Robert Rudolph's bombings feel he is taunting them from the "Supermax" prison in Colorado, where he serves a life sentence, through letters posted on the Army of God website.
Funny how slowly news can travel. The letters written by Rudolph -- who carried out a string of bombings in Atlanta (Centennial Park during the '96 Olympic Games being the most infamous) and Birmingham (an abortion clinic where he detonated the bomb as a security guard stood over it) -- have been posted on the site for months. In fact, most of them appear to have been written before he was transferred to Supermax, where he shares space with such notables as Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski, Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui, Oklahoma City bomber Terry Nicholas and Nuwaubianist leader Dwight York from Putnam County.
The letters -- where Rudolph "justifies" the bombings -- were featured in CL's cover story on Rudolph last July, the 10th anniversary of the Centennial Park bombing.
