More than a year after a person was allegedly seen placing two devices that the FBI said were pipe bombs near the offices of the Republican and Democratic national committees in Washington, the bureau is no closer to learning that individual’s identity.
A hooded and masked individual was seen on Jan. 5, 2021—the night before the breach of the U.S. Capitol—placing items that the FBI and other law enforcement entities say were bombs near the two headquarters near Capitol Hill in Washington. Steve D'Antuono, the FBI’s lead agent in Washington, said the devices were disabled before they could explode.
