Ted Kaczynski, nicknamed “Unabomber”, whose parcel bomb attacks traumatized America between 1978 and 1995, has been found dead in his cell at 81.
He had traumatized an entire country between 1978 and 1995. According to the New York Times, citing the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Ted Kaczynski, nicknamed “Unabomber”, was found unconscious in his cell early Saturday morning. The cause of his death is not yet known.
For 18 years, this Harvard-educated mathematician had sent sixteen bombs, concealed in postal parcels, to various people and businesses, causing a total of three deaths and 23 injuries. After a long hunt, he was arrested in 1996 and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1998.
His first targets were academics and airlines, earning him the nickname “Unabomber” (for “University and Airline Bomber”).
Long detained in the high security prison in Florence, Colorado (known for having sheltered famous prisoners such as drug lord El Chapo), he was transferred in 2021 to a prison health facility in North Carolina.
