Atlanta bomb suspect arrested in US

Sheriff’s deputies arrested a man early today believed to be Eric Rudolph, the fugitive charged with the 1996 Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta and in bomb attacks at a gay nightclub and an abortion clinic, the FBI said.

The man was digging in a rubbish bin in the small North Carolina town of Murphy when he was stopped at about 4.30am, said Special Agent John Iannarelli in Washington.
