FBI releases video of D.C. pipe bomb suspect
Ramping up its search for the person who planted pipe bombs in Washington, D.C., the FBI on Tuesday publicly released a video showing a suspect who - a day before the deadly assault on the Capitol - placed explosive devices near the Democratic and Republican committee headquarters.
The FBI is calling on the public to watch the video and submit any tips that may lead to that person's arrest.
It shows the bombs - which were later defused by authorities - being placed between the hours of 7:30 and 8:30 PM on January 5.
The next day, supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol in a failed attempt to block Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s win.
More than 300 people have been charged in connection to the riots… but the FBI has not been able to identify the suspect who planted the explosives.
The agency previously released photos of the suspect - seen wearing a mask… a gray hoodie and black and light-gray Nike Air Max Speed shoes.
The U.S. Capitol police said the devices could have caused “great harm”…
And the FBI wants anyone who recognizes anything familiar about the suspect - be it their clothes, their gait, body language or mannerisms - to speak up.
