Notorious domestic terrorist Ted Kaczynski, also known as the 'Unabomber', has died aged 81 in federal prison, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons said Saturday.
Kaczynski was found dead around 8 a.m. at a federal prison in North Carolina. A cause of death was not immediately known.
After shooting to infamy by orchestrating 16 bombings over a 17-year reign of terror, Kaczynski was given life without the possibility of parole when he was finally caught in 1996.
Kaczynski was captured after a years-long manhunt tracked him to a primitive cabin in western Montana woodland, where he built the explosives he used to kill three people and injure 23 others between 1978 and 1995.
He had been moved to the federal prison medical facility in North Carolina after spending two decades in a federal Supermax prison in Colorado.
Kaczynski was a Harvard educated mathematician who later retreated to the Montana wilderness after coming to believe technology would spell the end of civilization.
He executed a sinister plan to detonate explosives in universities and airports, which he would often mail to his victims using the postal service.
Years before the Sept. 11 attacks and the anthrax mailing, the Unabomber’s deadly homemade bombs changed the way Americans mailed packages and boarded airplanes, even virtually shutting down air travel on the West Coast in July 1995.
He published a sprawling 35,000 word manifesto named 'Industrial Society and Its Future', which claimed modern society was plagued by the increasing role of technology in everyday life.
While the fear he spurred led The Washington Post and The New York Times to take the agonizing decision in September 1995 to publish the manifesto, it ultimately led to his undoing.

Rest in pieces.
He was about to spill the beans on the Clintons and Bidens.
Hopefully he got his mind back in the afterlife.
About time.
I hope Ted Kaczynski enjoys the lake of fire.
Hopefully, the Clintons and Biden dynasties go next!
I don’t think he was evil just very insane. I could be wrong just my strong opinion.
most people are only a great great great grampa away from living in a tent and pooping in a hole, and it made him depressed, drepression is anger turned inward. he turned his outward..
... or, deep down, all his grand philosophizing about the state of humanity was little more than a bulls—t, self-deluding cover for a misanthrope who felt powerful when he blew up stuff.
I remember back when he was arrested, one of the media specials delved into his biography and they interviewed some of his high-school classmates. One woman expressed no surprise whatsoever that classmate Teddy was the Unabomber. She said he had always been a weirdo jerk who thought he was better and smarter than everyone else. She remembered him setting off prank bombs around the neighborhood, in school bathrooms etc. She said that she’d been telling people for years that she suspected good old Ted was the Unabomber.
I just vaguely remember this mostly because my parents worked on some TV movie about him.
I believe he was part of a cia backed experiment at Harvard where they gave him lsd and berated him. That would drive anyone bonkers
I hope he found Jesus. Maybe.
His sister-in-law "turned him it." She read the Unabomber manifesto in the Washington Post, and turned to her husband, and said, "This sounds just like your brother." They contacted the FBI who staked out his cabin in Montana, and eventually got a search warrant, and found enough evidence to convict him. He was far from a harmless crank, and his exploits caused serious harm to innocent people.
Oh darn.
What’s for dinner?
Even intelligent people can be insane.
I read once that he had been homeless and sleeping in ditches. When he was caught he was living in a cabin with no running water or electricity. He had not taken a bath for who knows how long. Even the Amish take a bath once a week and wash their clothing. Can you imagine the smell?
Well the Democrats ended nervous hospitals in the 1970’s and now we have this and much worse.
So we put the mentally ill in prisons and/or give them sex change operations.
the Grand Poobah of the enviro-wackos....hed get elected to Congress today...poor guy was way before his time.
Kaczynski was only 16 when he went to Harvard. In his sophomore year he was unwittingly enrolled in CIA sponsored experiment conducted by his mentor Professor Henry Murray.The experiment Ted Kaczynski participated in at Harvard involved psychological torment and humiliation and it lasted 3 years. He was traumatized for life.
Can you imagine the smell?
Don’t have to, I have extensive NY Subway experience. I wish I were kidding or exaggerating. The smell is second in offensiveness only to a rotting corpse.
