U.S. Democrats are trying to characterize the Jan. 6 storming of Congress as a “domestic terrorist activity. And FBI officials have said that the two bombs found in the offices of the Republican and Democratic National Committees on the day of the congressional incident were actually planted the night before.
According to the Associated Press on Friday (29), the FBI said that day, the investigation found new information, the explosive devices were placed between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. on January 5, the day before the riots at the Capitol, although they were not discovered until the next day.
The first bomb was found at the offices of the Republican National Committee at about 12:45 p.m. on the 6th, and the second was found at the Democratic National Committee about 30 minutes later. Both parties’ national committees are located a few blocks from the Capitol.
Officials told The Associated Press that the two bombs were made using a similar method, each about a foot long and with wiring that appeared to be connected to a timer. Each bomb contained a powder and some metal, and the composition of the bombs is still under investigation.
Conservative media outlet One America News Network (OANN) reporter Jack Posobiec tweeted questions about why the FBI didn’t show the Time the bombs were placed when it looked like nighttime in the video.
According to a tweet titled “FBI Washington Field,” the FBI’s official website offered a $50,000 reward for information about the person who placed the suspected pipe bomb in Washington, D.C., when the page showed the date of Jan. 6.
The FBI later doubled the reward amount to $100,000 for information, and the date listed on the page was changed to Jan. 5.
There is no evidence yet to link the bombs to the riots that occurred at the Capitol. It has been more than 20 days since the incident and there is still no sign of the suspect, and officials in charge of the FBI’s Washington office say finding the suspect is the bureau’s top priority.
