Alleged Olympics Bomber Caught

Also Suspected in Attacks on Gay Club, Abortion Clinics, Fugitive Hid for 5 Years

excerpt;

'The capture of Rudolph, 36, was a mundane final chapter for the notorious fugitive on the FBI's most wanted list. He had been on the run and likely hiding for the past five years in the mountains and hollows of western North Carolina, eluding heat-seeking helicopters and bloodhounds. A 21-year-old patrolman with the Murphy Police Department, Jeffrey Postell, thought he had spotted a probable burglar behind the supermarket. After the man jumped behind milk crates to hide, Postell drew his weapon and called for backup. The man wore a stubbly growth of beard and an Army camouflage jacket. He had no ID and gave an alias of Jerry Wilson.'

Then Ashcroft butts in:

\"American law enforcement's unending efforts to capture Eric Robert Rudolph have been rewarded,\" Ashcroft said in a statement. \"Working with law enforcement nationwide, the FBI always gets its man.\"

Yeah right, I'd rather have Jerry Postell, the rookie cop, protecting me than the lunitic\/facist Ashcroft<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Chief Brown Shirt Ashcroft is trying to the take credit for hunting down and aprehending Eric Rudolph for his brown shirts, though in reality it was a "A lone rookie police officer on night patrol [who] apprehended alleged 1996 Olympics bomber Eric Robert Rudolph ..."","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2003\/06\/61260.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
