Theodore Kaczynski, the US criminal and terrorist known by the nickname "Unabomber", died today in the federal prison of Butner, in North Carolina. The news was confirmed by Federal Prisons Administration (BOP) spokesman Carl Bailey, according to whom the prisoner was found unconscious this morning in his cell. Kaczynski, 81, was arrested in 1996 and sentenced to life in prison two years later for sending explosive parcel post over a period of nearly 18 years, killing three people and injuring 23 others. The first explosive device was sent in May of 1978 to Professor Buckley Crist of Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, the serial killer's hometown. A former academician and mathematics professor, Kaczynski sent a 1995-word manifesto to the press and others in 35, entitled "The Industrial Society and Its Future," in which he justified his actions as attempts to combat what he believed were the dangers of technological progress.
