FBI Says Atlanta Bombs Linked, Sources Report
- Share via
ATLANTA — Investigators have found links between the Centennial Olympic Park pipe bombing and subsequent attacks on an abortion clinic and a gay nightclub, according to news reports Friday.
Citing unidentified sources, Time magazine’s online news service said the FBI has determined all three bombings involved devices that bear the same “signatures.”
An unusual metal was used in components of all three sets of devices, Time quoted sources as saying. One source also said the timers and copper wiring in the fusing mechanisms were the same.
CBS reported that investigators examining photographs and video taken in Centennial Park on the night of the July 27 bombing have derived images of six people they’d like to question. Some images are expected to be released next week.
Time’s online service said the FBI has a fuzzy image of a person who may have planted the Olympic park bomb. An FBI spokesman said he knew of no such image.
