Trail of Atlanta bomber cold as U.S. stages Games again

By
ATLANTA - The last Olympics in the United States were rocked by terrorism when a bomb hidden in a knapsack exploded in an Atlanta park. <br> <br> One woman was killed and more than 100 people injured when the bomb exploded July 27, 1996. <br> <br> More than five years later, authorities say they are no closer to finding Eric Robert Rudolph, the man believed to be behind the park attack and three other Southeast bombings. <br> <br> The Southeast Bomb Task Force, set up to find Rudolph, still gets leads -- enough to keep them busy. But none have produced Rudolph, who is also charged with setting off lethal bombs at two abortion clinics and a homosexual nightclub. <br> <br> Investigators say Rudolph could be anywhere. Terrorism experts say it is unlikely Rudolph would try to pull off another Olympic bombing in Salt Lake City.
