Pipe bombs at RNC and DNC were planted night before Capitol riot, FBI says
Two pipe bombs left at the offices of the Republican and Democratic national committees, discovered just before thousands of pro-Trump rioters stormed the United States Capitol, were actually placed the night before, federal officials have said.
Key points:
- The devices were not discovered by authorities until the day of the riot
- The two devices were very similar, AP was told
- Both the RNC and DNC are located near the US Capitol where the riot took place
An investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) revealed the explosive devices were placed outside the two buildings between 7:30pm and 8:30pm (US time) on January 5, the night before the riot.
The devices were not located by law enforcement until the next day.
