Individual apprehended in connection with Jan. 6 pipe bomb incident

An individual has been taken into custody in relation to the pipe bombs found on January 6, 2021, and is scheduled to appear in court later on Thursday, according to a source with direct knowledge of the case who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the investigation.

Until now, no arrests had been made regarding the explosives discovered outside the Democratic and Republican National Committee offices on the day of the Capitol attack. The FBI described the devices as viable and noted that they did not detonate. Investigators believe the bombs were planted the day prior to the events at the Capitol.

This apprehension marks the first significant development in a years-long investigation that has sparked widespread speculation and conspiracy theories. The devices were found as rioters breached the Capitols security perimeter, drawing law enforcement attention and contributing to the mobs successful entry into the building.

The exact legal charges against the suspect have not yet been disclosed. This story is developing and will be updated as new information becomes available.
