After examining thousands of photos and videotapes, the FBI says it has images appearing to show a man wearing a hood sitting on a bench in Olympic Park before a bomb went off there last year.

The images were taken at 12:19 a.m., about an hour before the July 27 explosion that killed one person and injured 100 others. Investigators also have a videotape taken at 12:28 a.m. of a parcel or backpack under the vacated bench.

Investigators are also intrigued because they are trying to identify a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt seen outside a suburban abortion clinic Jan. 16, hours before two bombs exploded there.

Seven people were injured in the bombing at the clinic. Four people were injured about five weeks later when a bomb went off at an Atlanta nightclub that caters to homosexuals.

Investigators believe that all three bombings were carried out by the same person or group.
