Unabomber
A reference to a terrorist and anarchist whose homemade bombs killed three people and wounded twenty-three others in sixteen separate incidents in the United States from 1978 to 1995.

During this time, the Unabomber received extensive attention in the news media for the ingenuity of his explosive devices; for his extreme statements of opposition to science, industry, and technology; and for his success in eluding detection and capture.

In April, 1996, federal agents arrested a suspect who later confessed to the Unabomber attacks; Theodore John Kaczynski, a 53-year old Harvard University graduate and a former mathematics professor at the University of California at Berkeley.
