Pickup Spotted at Clinic Blast Found
After being checked for booby-traps, the pickup truck owned by a man sought as a witness in the fatal Alabama abortion clinic bombing was towed out of a backwoods pasture by federal agents near the town of Murphy. Owner Eric Robert Rudolph, 31, was nowhere to be seen. The Jan. 29 blast at the clinic in Birmingham, the nation’s first fatal abortion clinic bombing, killed a security guard. Witnesses reported seeing Rudolph’s pickup near the clinic. Responsibility for the attack was claimed by a group called the Army of God, which sent letters to news offices.
