		On April 13, Rudolph pleaded guilty to federal charges stemming from three Atlanta-area bombings: the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing, which killed 44-year-old Alice Hawthorne and injured more than 100 others; and the 1997 bombings of an abortion clinic and the Otherside Lounge, described in court documents as serving a gay and lesbian clientele.
		The appellate court opinions essentially had set the stage for the jury in Newkirk's courtroom to address an unusual question: whether Centennial Olympic Park was a space for recreation or a space for commercial activity.

		Rudolph also is accused of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta in which a woman was killed and more than 100 people were injured, and two bombings in Atlanta in 1997 -- at a nightclub frequented by lesbians and at a building that housed a clinic where abortions were performed.
		Compare the Olympic park detonation with the one they caught on camera at the abortion clinic in Atlanta, when the perp set a second device to go off minutes after the first in order to kill responders.
		The damage at the Olympic park bombing could've been much greater and caused more loss of life--this is from CNN's "The Hunt for Eric Rudolph." Apparently, four guys found the backpack containing the bomb and were going to take it into a bar.

	Talk:Eric Robert Rudolph - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Centennial Olympic Park bombing at the Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, which killed Alice Hawthorne and wounded 111 others, caused the death of cameraman Melih Uzunyol by heart attack as he rushed to cover the incident.
		Rudolph was born in the United States, so it would be appropriate to have him in the American terrorists category.
		I do think it's unnecessary to repeat the entire list of every bombing, name every location, and every victim, all in the first paragraph -- not to mention the overly detailed history of his being a fugitive.
