Italian Unabomber

The Italian Unabomber is an unknown person or group tied to a series of booby-trap bombings in northern Italy since 1994. The prevailing assumption of the investigation and media reports presumes one man is behind the crimes. Dubbed the Unabomber by the Italian media and correspondingly called the Italian Unabomber by the international press, the bomber is named after the American serial killer Theodore Kaczynski, known during his criminal career as the Unabomber. Kaczynski planted minature bombs in mail packages sent to selected targets that killed three people and injured many more.

His Italian counterpart similarly hides bombs in everyday items but for untargeted victims that by chance activate the bombs. Unlike Kaczynski, the attacker has made no political or economic demands. The signature of this bomber is the modification of small consumer items, such as pens, candy containers and food jars which are placed in public places or on store shelves.

Several of his devices seem to have been planted in the "Continente" supermarket in the city of Portogruaro.
