Atlanta bombings.

Yesterday investigators said the bombings might be connected.
Now a senior agent is saying the similarities could be coincidental.
The F-B-I says steel plates used to make the bombs at the Olympics and an
Atlanta Abortion Clinic could have come from a North Carolina Factory where
suspect Eric Rudolph's friend works.
Police also found Rudolph's truck near the Franklin Machine Company.
They are still searching the North Carolina mountains for Rudolph.
