Who was the Unabomber? Ted Kaczynski died in his prison cell, but there still lessons to learn from his terrorism, according to experts.The FBI captured the Chicago-born in 1996, and he was serving life in prison when he died. The Department of Justice issued a statement, saying he was found unresponsive at the federal prison medical center in North Carolina.Kaczynski started his bombing spree in Chicago before waging a campaign of terror that set universities and airlines on edge nationwide.
"He got his title before they figured out who he was as the university and airline bomber, hence 'Unabomber,'' Mockaitis said. "It took them about 18 years to catch him, and that was only because his brother recognized the writing style of a manifesto that was partially aired." "I think there was a huge sigh of relief when he was finally caught to realize that he was truly the old-fashioned lone wolf. No known connection to anybody. No known connection to any broad ideological movement. So, no reason to fear that there would be a repeat of these incidents," Mockaitis said.But, a cautionary tale for law enforcement continues.
