"Unabomber" or "Unabomer" is the name given by the FBI to the elusive perpetrator of a series of bombings in 1975-95.
In 1979, an FBI-led task force that included the ATF and U.S. Postal Inspection Service was formed to investigate the “UNABOM” case, code-named for the UNiversity and Airline BOMbing targets involved. The task force would grow to more than 150 full-time investigators, analysts, and others.
In search of clues, the team made every possible forensic examination of recovered bomb components and studied the lives of victims in minute detail.
