The FBI on Thursday morning arrested a suspect believed to have planted pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic party headquarters prior to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, MS NOW reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n The arrest is a massive breakthrough in the nearly five-year federal investigation into who placed the bombs, which did not detonate.<\/p>\n The suspect has been charged with setting the bombs by the parties’ headquarters in Washington, D.C., four people with knowledge of the development told MS NOW.<\/p>\n A law enforcement official said that police have not yet determined a motive, MS NOW reported. <\/p>\n But the suspect has been linked to statements that show support for an anarchist ideology, two people briefed on the arrest told the news outlet. <\/p>\n The FBI did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.<\/p>\n As recently as late October<\/a>, the bureau was offering a $500,000 reward for information that would help authorities identify the Capitol Hill bombing suspect.<\/p>\n Surveillance video released by the FBI shows that around 7:54 p.m. ET on Jan. 5, 2021, a person wearing a face mask, black gloves and a gray hoodie placed a bomb outside the Democratic National Committee building.<\/p>\n About 22 minutes later, the same person appeared to place a second bomb by the Republican National Committee’s offices, according to the footage.<\/p>\n The incident occurred hours before a mob of President Donald Trump<\/a>‘s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol as lawmakers prepared to confirm former President Joe Biden<\/a>‘s 2020 election win.<\/p>\n The timing of the attempted crime, and the elusiveness of the perpetrator, have made the case a hotbed of conspiracy theories. <\/p>\n This is breaking news.
