The package contained a homemade bomb, which exploded when it was opened. Sanea escaped with minor injuries.

The prodigy who became a professor

Ted Kaczynski was also the child prodigy who studied mathematics at the prestigious Harvard University and became an assistant professor at Berkeley at just 25 years old.

Two years later, he moved to Montana, where he lived in a remote cabin he had built himself. It was there that the police arrested him in 1996, surrounded by the ingredients for a bomb, thousands of pages of diary notes about, among other things, bombing experiments, and a ready bomb ready to be dispatched.

The arrest was the result of one of the most extensive and expensive searches in the history of the FBI.
