Nashville Mayor John Cooper said the Christmas Day explosion in downtown Nashville doesn’t appear to be consistent with a terrorist attack.

“I think everybody, the U.S. Attorney, the FBI, has been very careful not to use the ‘T’-word here, because it’s not consistent with ‘T’-word actions,” he said in a CNN interview, adding that the reason why could be due to there being “no manifesto or political statement” written by the suspect.
