The bombings created a wave of terror across the South. Now, nearly 30 years later, Alabama is preparing to execute Walter Leroy Moody Jr. of Rex, Georgia, by lethal injection next month.

Judge Robert S. Vance was at his kitchen table on Dec. 16, 1989, when he opened a package that had been mailed to his home. The bomb hidden inside exploded with brutal force, killing Vance instantly and severely injuring his wife.
Two days later, a similar device killed an attorney in Georgia. Two other mail bombs were later intercepted and defused, one at a federal courthouse in Atlanta and the other at an NAACP office in Jacksonville, Florida.
