Eric Rudolph
American domestic terrorist (born 1966)
Summary
Eric Robert Rudolph, also known as the Olympic Park Bomber, is an American right-wing domestic terrorist convicted of a series of bombings across the Southern United States between 1996 and 1998, which killed two people and injured over 100 others, including the Centennial Olympic Park bombing at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. His stated motive was opposition to "the ideals of global socialism" and "abortion on demand", both of which he claimed were condoned by the United States government. Rudolph was listed as one of the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives for five years, until he was caught in 2003.

I am replacing the arrest photo (which is an obvious copyright violation) with his army portrait which is definitely in the public domain.
Fixed the image in the infobox. Please see [[Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images]].
