7. It took the FBI 17 years to track down Unabomber, Theodore Kaczynski, who, terrorized Americans with mail bombs, killing three and injuring 29. Born May 22, 1942, the Unabomber sent the first mail bomb in late May 1978 to Professor Buckley Crist at Northwestern University. At the time his killing spree began, Ted Kaczynski was:
8. Eric Robert Rudolph, the man responsible for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing during the Olympics in Atlanta, in which one woman was killed and over a hundred injured; the 1997 bombing of a women's clinic in Sandy Springs, and a gay nightclub in Midtown; and the deadly 1998 bombing of a Birmingham, Alabama abortion clinic, in which one police officer was killed, and a nurse severely injured was:
