On July 27th, 1996, a domestic terrorist bombed the Summer Olympic Games held in Atlanta, GA. While the FBI and the media fixated on the wrong man, the bomber planned his next, more overtly political attacks on 2 abortion clinics and a gay nightclub. The bomber would later be identified as a dedicated soldier in the white-supremacist Christian Identity Movement. Through the lens of these 4 bombings, and the victims left to pick up the pieces, Flashpoint explores America's greatest threat, the political and religious radicalization of homegrown terrorists.

    Another bombing, this time with two discrete bombs at an abortion clinic in Sandy Springs. The motivation behind the bombs was still unclear to law enforcement, but some were beginning to sense that they were somehow related. Three bombs, two locations, one with a warning call to 911. The pieces were beginning to come together, but the bomber was still on the loose. Standing back, standing by, ready to strike again.   Want to dive deeper? Follow @flashpoint_podcast on Instagram.
