CNN is reporting that Eric Rudolph has been captured in Murphy, North Carolina

Nothing follows

Local radio is reporting this.

Rudolph is accused of bombings in Alabama and Atlanta.

Rudolph is accused of bombings in Alabama and Atlanta.

What sort of bombings? Bombed what? Affiliated with what groups?

cnn.com currently says:

Police in North Carolina are seeking fingerprint records to confirm a man arrested Friday is Atlanta Olympics bombing suspect, Eric Robert Rudolph, a law enforcement spokesman said. Details soon

[11th Earl of Mar]

If we could go back in the archives we could find a number of freepers who thought Rudolph was a hero.

Hopefully, they have moved on to other forums by now.

If Rudolph is found guilty, throw the book at him.

Well, that will carry PC-CNN for the weekend - wall to wall.

[11th Earl of Mar]

Rudolph stands accused of bombing abortion clinics and the summer Olympics in Atlanta.

[MEG33]

The Olympic bombing and abortion clinic bombing.

[Catspaw]

I think he's also accused of bombing a gay bar in Atlanta.

[heckler]

He is accused of planting a bomb outside an abortion clinic that seriously wounded a nurse who worked there. I cant remember if anyone died in that one.

As far as the Atlanta Olympic bombing goes I dont know how they connected him to that.

[Catspaw]

It's also on CNN. The FBI is going to Cherokee County NC to make fingerprint ID--or they're already there. The reports haven't said if the person in custody has IDed himself as Rudolph.

[Brytani]

As many suspects as the FBI accused in the Olympics bombing (remember the security guard who's name escapes me?), the FBI needs to show more then just suspicion that Rudolph commited the bombing.

[Catspaw]

An off-duty police officer who was providing security for the abortion clinic was killed by the bombing. I believe on woman was killed at the Olympic Park bombing.

[BluH2o]

What sort of bombings? Bombed what? Affiliated with what groups?

Abortion clinic bombing, Atlanta Olympic park bombing. He's the guy the FBI spent over a year looking for in western North Carolina ... they finally gave up the ground search.

[Brytani]

Fox is now reporting his possible capture.

[MEG33]

Good heavens a woman died at the Olympic bombing...I know some say there is no evidence he did that. I say we have not tried him yet...He is a terrorist if he did the bombings.

[heckler]

Richard Jewel.

I think the security guard for the clinic died in that blast. Hoo-ray, if it is he that is in custody.
