ATLANTA -- Eric Robert Rudolph, the former fugitive who evaded capture in the North Carolina mountains for more than five years, will plead guilty to killing two people and injuring more than 100 others in bombings at abortion clinics and at the 1996 Olympics here, the Department of Justice said Friday.
As part of his plea agreement, Rudolph revealed the whereabouts of more than 250 pounds of dynamite and a buried bomb more than twice as powerful as the one that went off here in Centennial Olympic Park, the authorities said. The explosives were recovered and disposed of this week. In exchange for the information, Rudolph, 38, will serve life in prison instead of facing possible execution. His lawyers did not return calls seeking comment.
