‘Unabomber’ Ted Kaczynski dies in prison at 81 FMTNews FMTWorld
WASHINGTON: Ted Kaczynski, known as the “Unabomber,” who terrorised Americans from 1978 to 1995 with his sporadic, anonymous bombing campaign, died in prison Saturday, US authorities said.
His bombs were either hand delivered or mailed over nearly two decades, confounding investigators looking to bring him to justice. But it would turn out that while Kaczynski picked his victims without knowing them, he selected them using extreme anti-technology views to justify the attacks. Upon reading it, his estranged brother David thought he might know the author, and alerted the FBI to his suspicions.After his 1996 arrest, Kaczynski was convicted to life in prison in 1998. When his lawyers tried to enter a plea of insanity, Kaczynski asked the court to dismiss them, and rejected a diagnosis that he was a paranoid schizophrenic.
