Atlanta Olympic Park bombing

The Atlanta Olympic Park bombing occurred on July 27, 1996, during the Summer Olympics in Atlanta. A bomb exploded beneath Centennial Olympic Park, a popular public space, killing two people and injuring over 100 others. The bombing was carried out by Eric Robert Rudolph, a domestic terrorist aiming to protest certain government policies. The attack shocked the nation and led to increased security measures at future events. Rudolph was later apprehended and convicted, but the incident remains a significant example of domestic terrorism during the 1990s.
