In 1978 the Harvard University graduate began a 17-year spree of mysterious bombings that killed three and injured around 25 people
Ted Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber, being led to a car from the federal courthouse in Helena, Montana in April 1996 The American terrorist known as the Unabomber has died in prison at the age of 81.
For years, he frustrated police who, with no solid clues to the killer’s identity, dubbed his case UNABOM, for University and Airline Bombings. Kaczynski’s younger brother, David, tipped off police that the author’s ideas sounded like those of Ted. Agents arrested the disheveled Unabomber at his cabin in April 1996.
“I remember Ted was very good at chemistry … I remember Ted had the know-how of putting together things like batteries, wire leads, potassium nitrate and whatever, and creating explosions” at the age of 12 and 13, Mr Eickelman said. Others have cited a period in Kaczynski’s childhood when he spent long periods in isolation due to a severe outbreak of hives.Kaczynski earned a doctoral degree in mathematics in 1967 at the University of Michigan before he got a job as an assistant mathematics professor at the University of California at Berkeley.
Kaczynski then took aim at a bigger target, placing a bomb in 1979 in the cargo hold of an American Airlines plane that gave off smoke during a domestic flight, forcing an emergency landing at Dulles International Airport near Washington.
