FBI: Austin Mail Bomber Had No Ideology, No Links To Terror Or Hate Groups

Emily Zanotti

The FBI has closed its case on the Austin mail bomber who terrorized the Texas city last year, but agents were not able to deduce a motive behind the five explosions, which killed two people and injured at least five.

KXAN Austin reports that the FBI closed its case on the bomber on January 10th, nearly a year after the bomber blew himself up using one of his own packages. The Bureau has remained largely secretive about the case, releasing only a handful of details to the public over the course of the investigation.
