SAN FRANCISCO - A U.S. federal appeals court has ordered the writings of Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski be sold online.
The decision Friday upholds a lower court ruling.
Proceeds from the sale will be given to Kaczynski's victims and their survivors.
A judge had ordered Kaczynski to pay $15 million restitution.
Representing himself, Kaczynski had objected to the online sale, arguing he should retain control of the papers.
The appeals court also ruled bomb-making materials and instructions seized during Kaczynski's arrest and raid at his Montana cabin in 1996 should be destroyed.
Kaczynski is serving a life sentence for killing three people and injuring 23 during a bombing campaign between 1978 and 1995.
