Any info available about an analysis of the explosive material used?

Not that I've heard, but I'm not following too closely. Just the WaPo blurbs that hit my email.

Apparently another went off very recently.

The suspect in a string of bombings in Austin is dead, interim Austin Police Chief Brian Manley confirmed early Wednesday.

He described how authorities tracked down the suspect’s vehicle to a Round Rock-area hotel. Police began following the suspect’s vehicle, and as SWAT approached, the suspect detonated a bomb in the car, Manley said.

Trying to get to the shop which is right around to corner from where he blew himself up.

The FedEx package they intercepted was addressed to a minister who was a neighbor to a friend of ours here in Round rock.

Geeze man.


I knew they would have been on the dude pretty quickly. You could tell by his MO he was trying to remove himself from detonation sites. Glad they got to him.

Real world demonstration, bans don't work.

Remind me guys. This wasn't a Muslim person, so it wasn't terrorism, right?

They had his phone number before he dropped the bombs off at FedEx. They used cell towers to find what phones were in the areas of the bombs and how they figured out his phone number.
