Federal agents successfully apprehended Theodore 'Ted' Kaczynski in Montana, ending a nearly two-decade long domestic terrorism campaign.
Kaczynski, known as the 'Unabomber', was responsible for a series of mail bombings that killed 3 people and injured 23 others.

Over the next 17 years, he mailed or hand delivered a series of increasingly sophisticated bombs that killed three Americans and injured nearly two dozen more. Along the way, he sowed fear and panic, even threatening to blow up airliners in flight.
In 1979, an FBI-led task force that included the ATF and U.S. Postal Inspection Service was formed to investigate the “UNABOM” case, code-named for the UNiversity and Airline BOMbing targets involved. The task force would grow to more than 150 full-time investigators, analysts, and others. In search of clues, the team made every possible forensic examination of recovered bomb components and studied the lives of victims in minute detail.
