AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF SEARCH WARRANT

Diader Rosario, Special Agent (SA) of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI), being duly sworn, deposes and states as follows:

1. I have been an FBI Agent for over 25 years, and have been assigned
to the Atlanta Division since June, 1987. I am presently assigned to
the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), and am assisting in the
investigation of the bombing incident at the Olympic Centennial Park
(Centennial Park) which occurred during the early morning hours of
July 27, 1996. I have approximately ten (10) years of specialized
experience investigating domestic terrorist organizations including
both formal in-service training relating to domestic security,
domestic terrorism and international terrorism, and on-the-job
experience.

I have participated in the investigation of the above described
bombing incident at the Centennial Park and as a result of my personal
participation in this investigation and through the analysis of
reports, both oral and written, which have been submitted by other
Special Agents of the FBI and/or other federal, state and local law
enforcement personnel, I state that I am familiar with the facts and
circumstances set forth hereinafter. This affidavit contains only
information which is necessary to support this application.

2. This affidavit is submitted in support of an application for a
search warrant for the premises located at 3649 Buford Highway,
Apartment F-3, Atlanta, Georgia, and for a vehicle described as a 1984
blue Toyota pickup truck bearing Georgia license plate QE44557.
Probable cause exists to believe that the person, the premises and the
vehicle contain evidence and instrumentalities as described on the
application and the exhibits attached thereto which items are evidence
of violations of Sections 844(i) (destruction of property used in
interstate or foreign commerce by means of fire or an explosive), and
2332a (use of weapons of mass destruction) of Title 18, United States
Code.

3. The following facts in support of this affidavit were obtained by
the FBI during the period from approximately July 27, 1996 to July 30,
1996.

4. Affiant states the 26th Olympiad is being held in Atlanta, Georgia
(July 19, 1996 through August 4, 1996). In connection with this
Olympiad, thousands of foreign dignitaries, visitors and athletes have
come to Atlanta, Georgia, to attend and participate in the Olympic
events. As part of the celebration of the event, the Atlanta Committee
for the Olympic Games (ACOG) established the Centennial Park at the
intersection of Techwood Drive and Baker Street in the downtown area
of Atlanta, Georgia, located in the Northern District of Georgia, as
the focal point of the Olympics. The park, which has numerous
entertainment venues and commercial establishments, is a popular
location for thousands of foreign and domestic Olympic visitors
throughout each day.

5. On Saturday, July 27, 1996, at 12:58 a.m., a telephone call was
received by the 911 emergency system at Atlanta Police Department
(APD). The caller, believed to be a male, stated: "There is a bomb in
Centennial Park, you have 30 minutes." The caller then hung up.

6. At approximately the same time that the 911 call was being
received, Richard Allenwortz Jewell, an AT&T security employee
assigned to Centennial Park, advised a law enforcement official that
he had observed a suspicious package in his patrol area. Subsequently,
a two-man law enforcement explosive [TEXT REDACTED] team assigned to
the Centennial Park venue by the Olympic [TEXT REDACTED] Center [TEXT
REDACTED] was dispatched to investigate this package. The
investigating Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) agents observed [TEXT
REDACTED] the inside of the backpack [TEXT REDACTED] Immediately
following these observations [TEXT REDACTED] law enforcement
authorities initiated evacuation of the immediate area of the sound
tower.

7. On July 27, 1996, [TEXT REDACTED] advised that he was at the
Centennial Park to work a 4:00 P.M. to 2:00 A.M. shift at the AT&T
Light and Sound Tower. His job was to be a "sound mixer" for the bands
that played at Centennial Park. Sometime after 1:00 A.M., while
working in the sound tower, he was told by an AT&T security guard
named Richard (last name unknown), to evacuate the sound tower because
a suspicious, unattended package had been found to the rear of the
tower. [TEXT REDACTED] and others who were working in the sound tower
were moved to the front of the sound tower which was approximately
fifty feet diagonally from where the package had been found. Soon
after evacuating the sound tower there was an explosion from the front
of the sound tower.

8. At approximately 1:20 A.M., the device detonated. There were over
one hundred persons injured and two people were killed as a result of
the bombing.

9. A 911 tracking system that determines originating telephone numbers
for incoming calls indicated that the 911 telephone call (see
paragraph 5, supra) originated at a pay telephone, number
404/521-3798, outside the Days Inn, 300 Spring Street, Atlanta,
Georgia. This pay telephone is located in a bank of 10 telephones
outside the hotel and is in close proximity to the Centennial Park.

[TEXT REDACTED]

12. On July 28, 1996, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Tom Davis of
the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Assistant Law Enforcement
Commander, Centennial Park, advised that at approximately 12:55 A.M.
on Saturday, July 27, 1996 as he was walking south on the pavement
adjacent to the southwest corner of the sound tower in Centennial
Park, Richard Jewell, an AT&T security officer, requested his
assistance in dealing with several drunken persons sitting on a bench
in the front area of the sound tower who had been throwing beer cans
and bothering a cameraman. As Davis approached the front of the sound
tower they observed that the group described by Jewell had departed
the area.


13. While in the area of the sound tower, Jewell pointed under a bench
and said: "one of them must have left that pack." Davis observed a
[TEXT REDACTED] container [TEXT REDACTED] that [TEXT REDACTED] He and
Jewell attempted unsuccessfully to locate the owners of the backpack.
Subsequently, Davis radioed the Command Post [TEXT REDACTED] to
examine a suspicious package. A two-man FBI/ATF EOD diagnostic arrived
to examine the unattended suspect package. Davis was advised by one of
the members of the diagnostic team [TEXT REDACTED] inside the
container and that he should initiate evacuation of the area and the
establishment of a perimeter. Davis was assisted by other law
enforcement personnel and by Richard Jewell in evacuating the area in
the vicinity of the stage and the sound tower.

14. While Davis was speaking to other officials about evacuating the
rest of Centennial Park, an explosion occurred from the area of the
suspect package. Davis believes that Jewell was on the other side of
the sound tower when the explosion occurred. After the explosion,
Jewell told Davis that the men who had been rowdy in the area had been
taking beer out of another backpack similar to the one which had
exploded.

15. On July 27, 1996, [TEXT REDACTED] advised the FBI that be and his
wife, who also knew Jewell, had been watching television and observed
Richard Jewell being interviewed regarding the explosion at Centennial
Park. [TEXT REDACTED] stated that he and his wife shared concerns
regarding Jewell's stability and the fact that his appearance on
television was out of character.  [TEXT REDACTED] explained that
Jewell was "an individual who lived for the moment, he was an
adrenalin junkie who would thrive in this situation, yet, he appeared
just the opposite, he was nervous and stressed."

16. [TEXT REDACTED] continued by stating that Jewell had been
discharged by the Habersham County Sheriff's Office after he wrecked a
police car and another car in a high speed chase. It was [TEXT
REDACTED] understanding that this incident was the second or third
time that Jewell had over-reacted and wrecked a police car in a chase.
After being discharged from the HCSO, Jewell was hired as a part-time
campus security officer at Piedmont College in Demorest, Georgia,
where he lived. Jewell was subsequently made a full-time security
officer for the college. [TEXT REDACTED] advised that despite orders
to the contrary, Jewell would often exceed his responsibilities as a
campus security officer and conduct traffic stops on vehicles off
campus. The nature of the stops included improper tags, burned out
taillights, etc. [TEXT REDACTED] stated that there was an agreement
between the City of Demorest and Piedmont College that normal
procedures would dictate that traffic stops outside of the campus
would be the responsibility of the City of Demorest. After repeated
counseling, Jewell was put in a probationary status on May 20, 1996.
[TEXT REDACTED] stated that Jewell resigned his position on May 21,
1996.

17. [TEXT REDACTED] stated that at work Jewell was always reading and
talking about "cop stuff." [TEXT REDACTED] stated that this included
guns and ballistic comparisons. [TEXT REDACTED] stated that Jewell was
"totally engrossed in his job, he ate, slept, and breathed it...he
didn't have a girlfriend, just the job." According to [TEXT REDACTED]
Jewell was currently trying to get back into law enforcement.

18. [TEXT REDACTED] further stated that on Saturday after the bombing
in Centennial Park he talked to [TEXT REDACTED], a part-time employee
at Piedmont College [TEXT REDACTED] who also knows Jewell. [TEXT
REDACTED] recalled having told Worrell that Jewell had found the bomb
and having commented that he [TEXT REDACTED] didn't think Jewell would
know anything about a bomb. Worrell disagreed and advised [TEXT
REDACTED] that Jewell had knowledge of bombs [TEXT REDACTED]

19. On July 29, 1996 [TEXT REDACTED] advised that he has known Richard
Jewell for about five or six years. [TEXT REDACTED] knew Jewell when
Jewell was employed with the HCSO. [TEXT REDACTED] stated that if
there had been a more thorough psychological profiling, Jewell would
not have been hired. Jewell lives and breathes police stories, spy
stories and SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics). Jewell had discussed
bombs in the past with [TEXT REDACTED] and [TEXT REDACTED] got the
impression that Jewell had gone to a continuing education course
coning bombing matters.  [TEXT REDACTED] stated that Richard Jewell
was exposed to explosives and bomb instruction and lectures on two
separate occasions. The first occasion was on July 26, 1991 during
Jewell's basic mandated Peace Officer certification. The other
occasion was an in service training period which took place on May 13,
1992. [TEXT REDACTED] stated that Richard Jewell has received a total
of approximately four hours of class time on explosives. The
instruction that Jewell received covered the basics of explosives,
bombs and incendiary devices, black powder explosives, blasting caps
and basic power train physics. Pipe bombs were specifically included
in the curriculum and pipe bomb models were used as instructional
aids.

20. FBI agents interviewed [TEXT REDACTED] on July 30, 1996.  [TEXT
REDACTED] advised that Jewell had told him that Jewell had been on a
task force that handled bombs. One day [TEXT REDACTED] in late 1995,
Jewell was asked if he knew anything about bombs. Jewell advised [TEXT
REDACTED] that he had dealt with homemade pipe bombs which had a
closed chamber, contained shrapnel, and were set off with blasting
caps.

21. [TEXT REDACTED] also stated that Jewell had a [TEXT REDACTED] bag
he kept equipment in. [TEXT REDACTED] described Jewell's bag as being
[TEXT REDACTED] stated that when Jewel advised him and others that he
was going to be at the Olympics, Jewell said that he hoped that he
could be right in the middle of it if something happened.

22.  On July 28, 1996, advised the FBI that Richard Jewell was
employed as a security guard. In the days preceding the explosion at
the Centennial Park, Jewell was going to be assigned to a different
tower than where the IED was placed. Jewell did not want anyone else
to work at his sound tower. He worked the sound tower seven days a
week for twelve hours a day and did not want any days off. Jewell put
up a significant argument to stay at the tower where the explosion
subsequently occurred, and he was assigned to that tower at the time
of the explosion.

23. On July 29, 1996, an associate of Jewell, [TEXT REDACTED] who has
known him on a professional basis for several years, provided the
following information concerning Jewell. This associate stated that he
believed that Jewell could have been capable of placing a bomb if
Jewell thought that no one would have been hurt by it. The associate
stated that Jewell had not been able to obtain full-time employment as
a police officer after leaving the Habersham County Sheriff's Office.
The associate opined that Jewell might have believed that this
(setting off an explosion in his area of responsibility) could make
him appear heroic and would enable him to get employed as a police
officer again. The associate stated that Jewell was sort of black
balled from law enforcement employment due to the general knowledge of
his actions while employed at the HCSO.

24. Special Agent [TEXT REDACTED] interviewed [TEXT REDACTED] on July
30, 1996. [TEXT REDACTED] stated that he was at the scene of the
explosion, and that Richard Jewell introduced himself several days
prior to the incident. On the night of the explosion, before the
discovery of the bag by Jewell, [TEXT REDACTED] did not see Jewell at
his post in front of the tower. The first time that [TEXT REDACTED]
saw him was when their eyes met as Jewell was standing near the bag,
and motioned to [TEXT REDACTED] went over to Jewell, who said, "It's a
bomb. I've already called law enforcement. Let's get out of here."
Five to ten seconds later, the bomb exploded.

25. Special Agent [TEXT REDACTED] interviewed [TEXT REDACTED] on July
30, 1996. According to Ms. [TEXT REDACTED], between 12:20 and 12:30
a.m. [TEXT REDACTED] was not feeling well and went to sit down on a
bench behind the media tower. While Ms. [TEXT REDACTED] was
approaching the bench, Jewell stepped in front of her and sat down on
the bench. According to Ms. [TEXT REDACTED], when she attempted to sit
down, Jewell said "I'm sorry, you cannot sit here. This bench is
reserved for the police officers when they want to take a break. If
you would like to walk around to the front of the light tower, there
are some benches there that were vacant a few minutes ago. There are
some policemen that are standing on their feet for long periods of
time and that's why we reserve this bench for them." Ms. [TEXT
REDACTED] thanked Jewell and attempted to find another bench. Your
affiant at this time is uncertain whether the bench in question is the
one under which the bomb exploded.

26. Affiant states that after the explosion at Centennial Park, during
an interview with the Cable News Network (CNN) on July 27, 1996,
Jewell said he hoped to get a job in law enforcement in the Atlanta
area after the Olympics.

27. Investigation has determined that Richard Jewell is a white male
born on 12/17/62 and resides at apartment F-3, 3649 Buford Highway,
Atlanta, Georgia,with his mother, Barbara Jewell. These premises are
on the east side of Buford Highway in Atlanta. The building containing
apartment F-3 is a three level, brick building with wooden siding.
Apartment F-3 is on the second level. Telephone number 404-320-7576 is
subscribed to by "B.A. Newell" at these premises. Richard Jewell is
currently employed as a contract Security Guard for AT&T Security
Department. He is described as a white male, 5'9" tall, 210 pounds,
blond hair, and blue eyes.

28. Special Agents of the FBI [TEXT REDACTED] observed him depart the
apartment F-3 at 3649 Buford Highway on July 29, 1996 and return to it
at approximately 5:21 P.M. on the same date. He was driving the 1984
blue Toyota pickup, Georgia license QE44557. Additionally, during a
statement he gave to an official of AT&T Corporate Security on July
27, 1996 Jewell stated that his address is Apartment F-3, 3649 Buford
Highway, Atlanta, and his home telephone number is 404-320-7576.
Telephone records confirm that telephone number 404-320-7576 is
located at that address. A check of vehicle registration records
determined that the 1984 blue Toyota pickup truck bearing Georgia
license plate number QE44557 is registered to Richard Jewell.

29. Richard Jewell has given numerous statements since the bombing on
July 27, 1996. In one statement, Jewell stated that after the
explosion, he was the First responder," actively involved in assisting
victims and in keeping people from reentering the tower. A videotape
of the scene after the explosion showed that Jewell ran around the
tower shortly after the blast, looked at the scene of the explosion,
and ran back around the tower, away from the victims.

30. Your affiant states that a law enforcement officer met with
Richard Jewell on July 29 and July 30, 1996 at his apartment located
at 3649 Buford Highway, Apartment F-3, and observed a 5 X 7 steno pad
in which Jewell maintained notes and drawings concerning the bombing
in Centennial Park. Also observed were unlabeled video tapes journals,
[TEXT REDACTED]


FURTHER AFFIANT SAYETH NOT.



SUPPLEMENT TO AFFIDAVITS IN SUPPORT OF SEARCH WARRANTS

Diader Rosario states that reasonable cause exists for execution of
the instant search warrant at any time in the day or night. The
television and newspaper media have reported that Richard Jewell is a
suspect in this investigation. In addition, the FBI interviewed
Richard Jewell earlier this evening, and Richard Jewell terminated the
interview. It is likely that Richard Jewell will attempt to destroy
and conceal existing evidence as soon as he can. In addition, the
alleged crime occurred nearly four days ago; it is essential that
efforts to obtain evidence not be delayed.

in a blue aluminum building behind Forrest Lake Mini Hart and Pawn
Shop, 2811 Level Grove Road, Cornelia, Georgia.

a building with a blue aluminum exterior, located behind Forrest Lane
Mini Mart & Pawn Shop, 2811 Level Grove Road, Cornelia, Georgia. The
rental application for that unit is in the name Richard A. Newell; the
unit was rented on 5-28-96.

to the Atlanta Division since June, 1987. I am presently assigned to
the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), and am assisting in the
investigation of the bombing incident at the Olympic Centennial Park
