Arrest of Theodore J. Kaczynski ('Unabomber') in Montana

On April 3, 1996, FBI agents arrested Theodore J. Kaczynski at his remote cabin near Lincoln, Montana, ending a nationwide bombing campaign that began in the late 1970s.

The arrest terminated a long-running domestic terrorism campaign, allowing prosecutors to pursue a major federal case and bringing relief and closure to victims and communities targeted over nearly two decades.
