The FBI arrested a man on Thursday who investigators believe planted pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters the night before the 2021 US Capitol riot, according to two law enforcement sources.
The arrest follows an almost five-year investigation to uncover the identity of the bomber who has only been seen in grainy surveillance video shrouded in a hoodie, gloves and a face mask.
Video clips previously released by the FBI showed an individual placing a bomb outside the DNC headquarters and another in an alley behind the RNC building, both just a few blocks away from the US Capitol. Then-Vice President-elect Kamala Harris came within 20 feet of the bomb at the DNC the next morning, and its discovery diverted police away from the violence unfolding at the Capitol.
The FBI has said the bombs were viable and capable of harming anyone near them if they had exploded. The discovery of the bombs drew police from the Capitol complex, before crowds of President Donald Trump supporters began breaking through police cordons to attack the Capitol building.
The suspect arrested has been identified as Brian Cole of Woodbridge, Va.
