*Eric Robert Rudolph* (born September 19, 1966), also known as the *Olympic Park Bomber*, is responsible for a series of bombings<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_bomb> across the southern United States<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_United_States> between 1996 and 1998, which killed two people and injured at least 150 others in the name of an anti-abortion <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-abortion> and anti-gay <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_opposition> agenda. The Federal Bureau of Investigation<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation> considers him a terrorist <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorist>. As a teenager Rudolph was taken by his mother to a Church of Israel<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Israel> compound in 1984; it is connected to the Christian Identity<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Identity> movement.He has called himself a Roman Catholic<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church> in "the war to end this holocaust" (in reference to abortion<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion>). He has confirmed religious motivation, but denied racial motivation for his crimes. He spent five years on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI_Ten_Most_Wanted_Fugitives> until he was caught in 2003. In 2005, as part of a plea bargain<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plea_bargain>, Rudolph pled guilty to numerous federal and state homicide<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homicide> charges and accepted four consecutive life sentences<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_imprisonment> in exchange for avoiding a trial and a potential death sentence<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment>. He remains incarcerated at the ADX Florence<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADX_Florence> supermax <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermax> prison in Florence, Colorado <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence,_Colorado>.
