The FBI has finally made an arrest in the long-running investigation into the pipe bombs planted near the DNC and RNC headquarters on the eve of the January 6th Capitol riot in 2021.
A man believed to be connected to the crime was taken into custody Thursday morning, according to the Associated Press, citing an anonymous official.

Additional footage released by the FBI shows a person — standing about 5 feet 7 inches tall, officials say — planting a bomb outside the DNC headquarters, with a second device left behind the RNC building — both locations just steps from the Capitol.
The feds say the bombs could have caused serious harm to anyone nearby had they detonated — but they were discovered by authorities shortly before rioters began storming the Capitol.
At one point, the FBI put up a $500K reward for information leading to the suspect.
No word yet on what finally led investigators to the arrest … but after years of dead ends, the case may have turned a corner. A previously identified potential suspect was cleared last week following the leak of an Office of the Director of National Intelligence draft memo allegedly accusing her of the crime.
