Two more bombings. The first one at a gay bar in Atlanta. The second one at an abortion clinic in Birmingham, AL.

But something is different with the explosion in Birmingham. The bomb wasn't on a timer. No, this time the bomber watched from a distance, waiting. Waiting to push the button at the exact moment when he can inflict the most possible damage.

On July 27th, 1996, a domestic terrorist bombed the Summer Olympic Games held in Atlanta, GA. While the FBI and the media fixated on the wrong man, the bomber planned his next, more overtly political attacks on 2 abortion clinics and a gay nightclub. The bomber would later be identified as a dedicated soldier in the white-supremacist Christian Identity Movement. Through the lens of these 4 bombings, and the victims left to pick up the pieces, Flashpoint explores America's greatest threat, the political and religious radicalization of homegrown terrorists.
