CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Now to the Eric Robert Rudolph case. Rudolph appears in federal court in Birmingham, Alabama this afternoon. He'll stand trial there for the bombing of a woman's health clinic where one person was killed and another seriously wounded. Back in the North Carolina mountains, the search goes on for evidence.
CNN's Art Harris has more.

ART HARRIS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: CNN has learned searchers have found a semi-automatic assault rifle believed to belong to Eric Rudolph at one of two secret campsites in the rugged mountains behind me here in North Carolina. The rifle is believed bought at a gun show. Authorities also believe Mr. Rudolph had other guns and they are on the lookout for that and more deadly weapons, like dynamite that was stolen from a supply depot here about two or three years ago.

Agents have discovered two camp sites in two days in the rugged hills above Murphy, North Carolina. One was above a parking lot where Eric Rudolph was arrested, apparently dumpster diving outside a grocery store. The other camp site about five miles away, atop a tall mountain.

We tried to go there, but were stopped at a police roadblock. An FBI agent who had just gone to the camp site said he would advise us against it because it was a very rough climb.

Art Harris, CNN, Murphy, North Carolina.
