Bringing you further detail now, US officials say they have arrested a Virginia man in connection with the placement of two pipe bombs outside the headquarters of the Republican and Democratic National Committees in Washington, DC on the eve of the 6 January, 2021 Capitol riots.

The arrest was confirmed on Thursday by two sources familiar with the case to BBC’s US partner, CBS News.

It follows a nearly five-year manhunt, which involved an extensive investigation and the offer of a $500,000 (£402,000) reward.

The pipe bombs were safely deactivated and did not explode.
