I am not convinced that the bullets that struck the command post were not simply hunting bullets that went astray. igor Secret Squirrel wrote:

Militiamen Assault Federal Command Post Shots Exchanged, No Injuries
November 17, 1998
Andrews, NC -- An unknown number of militiamen attacked a federal command post late last week, exchanging fire with agents. No injuries on either side were reported, and the unknown number of militiamen were said to have fled. The Rudolph Command Post, in Andrews NC, is the base from which more than 200 federal agents are conducting a search for Eric Rudolph, suspected bomber of a number of abortion clinics and of the 1996 Olympics.
Federal agents say that bullets whizzed by their heads and that one agent was barely grazed when nearly a dozen shots were fired into their headquarters.
Eric Rudolph, 32, has been charged in numerous bombings, including one that killed a police officer, and has fled into the woods of Western North Carolina. The eighty agents that had been assigned to the case, until recently, when their number was boosted to 200, have been unable to locate Rudolph. ANS correspondants on the scene that the local residents overwhelmingly support Rudolph, and that many have pledged that they would support and shelter him if they felt it necessary.
Rudolph is linked to far-right Christian organizations. ANS's North Carolina correspondents are not sympathetic to these organizations.
