The FBI on Wednesday released new video showing a masked suspect who officials say placed pipe bombs outside the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee headquarters on the eve of the January 6 riots at the US Capitol.
The new information includes a virtual map that shows the route the suspect walked while placing the two bombs between 7.30pm and 8.30pm on January 5.
The suspect wore a face mask, glasses, a grey hooded sweatshirt, gloves, and black and light grey Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes with a yellow logo.
According to the FBI, based on surveillance video and interviews with residents in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, the suspect was not from that area and likely had a location around Folger Park from which he or she was operating.
