'Unabomber' Eager To Tell Story From Prison, With Conditions
(CBS News) -- A man convicted of terrorizing the country with bombs decades ago is reaching out to tell his story.
Ted Kaczynski, known as the "Unabomber," apparently sent a hand-written letter to New Yorker writer Lawrence Wright, reports CBS News correspondent Anna Werner. It has likely been sent to several other journalists. In it, Kaczynski attacks his brother who helped authorities end the bombing spree, once again standing by his belief that he is not crazy.
In the letter, Kaczynski wrote: "...I am ready to speak to someone from the media regarding my brother's recent comments and to discuss how they are being used to torment me."
Kaczynski list his conditions for granting an interview, including "tell me who you are," "why I should trust you," and "[affirm] that you understand that I am NOT mentally ill."
For nearly two decades Kaczynski sent bombs through the mail, killing three people and injuring two dozen more. He was captured in April 1996 and was sentenced to four life terms.
