On Tuesday, the FBI has released a new surveillance video of the person suspected of placing pipe bombs at the headquarters of the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee in January 2021. The footage was released by the FBI on Tuesday along with a new wanted poster. It shows the suspected pipe bomber the evening of 5th January, walking along residential Capitol Hill streets and sitting on a bench, fiddling with something at his feet. The FBI issued a press release and said, “The FBI is asking the public to watch the videos of this person, you may recognize their gait, body language, or mannerisms. We are asking the public to come forward with any information that could assist us, including any odd or out-of-character behavior you noticed in a family member, friend, or coworker, leading up to or after 5th January”.

The suspected bomber can be seen on a residential sidewalk standing beside a backpack, allegedly used to transport the bombs in the released video. The suspect appears to put on glasses, gazing across the street as a man walks past with his dog. He can also be seen stretching an arm as he walks down the sidewalk holding the backpack at his side. The FBI said the suspect may have entered a vehicle or taken an item from a vehicle and placed it into the backpack. The authorities said 2 pipe bombs were found at the DNC and RNC headquarters at around 1 pm on 6th January, as Capitol rioters started to breach police barricades around the outer perimeter of the US Capitol. Both pipe bombs were discovered after a passerby spotted a pipe and tangle of wires near the RNC building and alerted authorities.

The FBI also said the bombs were placed outside the RNC and DNC the night before the attack, between 7:30 and 8:30 pm on 5th January. A reliable source has confirmed that the FBI has been reviewing hundreds of videos taken around that time. It is noteworthy that both bombs contained only one method of detonation, a 60-minute kitchen timer. The report was written by the National Explosives Task Force and suggested there was no evidence of a second or remote detonation method such as a cell phone. The FBI has suggested the devices were planted and set on the evening of 5th January. Law enforcement sources said the devices were supposedly designed to explode the day before the Electoral College certification. Federal law enforcement sources said the FBI forensic review has narrowed down retailers who sold the 60-minute kitchen timers, including the end caps used to assemble the pipe bomb.
