Pipe Bomb Suspect Arrested in Washington Case

A man was arrested in Virginia on Thursday in connection with allegedly planting pipe bombs near the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Republican National Committee (RNC) offices in Washington, D.C., on the night before the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

The devices, which failed to detonate, were discovered the next day as supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol.
