FBI Makes First Arrest in Jan. 6 Pipe Bomb Investigation

The FBI has made an arrest in its nearly five-year investigation into who planted two pipe bombs in Washington, D.C., on the eve of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The devices were found on January 5, 2021, near the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters. They were safely defused, but investigators say both bombs **could have been lethal**. This is the **first suspect** ever identified in a case that has fueled conspiracy theories and stood as one of the biggest unanswered questions surrounding Jan. 6. More details about the suspect and the charges are expected soon.
