MAHMOUD BENNETT: IT’S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE THE JANUARY 6 ATTACK ON THE US CAPITOL.
AND THE FBI IS UPPING ITS REWARD YET AGAIN TO HELP FIND THE PERSON WHO PLANTED PIPE BOMBS ON THE NIGHT BEFORE THE ATTACK.
IF YOU REMEMBER, SOMEONE PLACED TWO EXPLOSIVE DEVICES JUST BLOCKS APART ON JANUARY 5TH OF 2020 – ONE NEAR HEADQUARTERS AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE – THE OTHER NEAR HEADQUARTERS FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
THE BOMBS NEVER DETONATED AND WERE DISCOVERED BY AUTHORITIES BEFORE ANYONE WAS HURT BUT THE SUSPECT HAS REMAINED AT LARGE . NOW THE FBI IS OFFERING 500 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR INFORMATION THAT COULD LEAD TO THE ARREST.
THE AGENCY SAYS IT’S ALREADY CONDUCTED APPROXIMATELY ONE-THOUSAND INTERVIEWS, VISITED MORE THAN 12-HUNDRED LOCATIONS, AND COLLECTED OVER 39-THOUSAND VIDEOS IN AN ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY THE SUSPECT – TO NO AVAIL.
WHAT THEY DO HAVE IS FOOTAGE OF THE PERSON WEARING A GRAY HOODIE, BLACK GLOVES, LIGHT GREY NIKE SHOES AND A FACE MASK. THEY WERE ALSO CARRYING A BACKPACK TO TRANSPORT THE BOMBS.
SO FAR OFFICIALS HAVE ARRESTED MORE THAN 950 PEOPLE LINKED TO THE JANUARY 6TH ATTACK AND ARE ASKING FOR THE PUBLIC’S HELP IN IDENTIFYING 350 MORE.
OFFICIALS CONTINUE TO CALL THE ONGOING INVESTIGATION OF THAT DAY ONE OF THE LARGEST IN US HISTORY.
