[0:00] More than 100 other people were injured.
[0:03] >> Police say an unidentified male called
[0:05] in a bomb threat about 20 minutes before
[0:06] the device went off. The park is a
[0:09] public venue in the heart of the Olympic
[0:10] ring right in the middle of downtown
[0:12] Atlanta. Investigators closed the park
[0:14] to gather evidence. President Clinton
[0:16] says the culprit will be found. We will

[1:09] eyewitness accounts of the incident that
[1:12] night and as a result uh we have
[1:15] prepared some sketches, some composits.
[1:20] >> The security guard who first spotted the
[1:22] green knapsack hiding the bomb tells CNN
[1:25] he was shown several sketches by
[1:27] investigators.
[1:29] >> When they showed you the sketch, what
[1:32] did you see? Um they they did show me
