As I watch CNN coverage of the Nashville bombing, my thoughts go out to the men and women of the FBI across the country whose Christmas is now ruined.
Because of the size of the device, this will be a nation Major Case not isolated to Nashville, which is a small resident agency out the Memphis Field Office.
FBI Bomb techs and Evidence Response Team (ERT) members from across the country are right now being called to respond. I will continue to provide background and insight into the manner in which the F.B.I. conducts these types of investigations. For example:
IMO, this device, device its size, was meant to only send a message rather than injure or kill people. 6:30 AM in a sparsely populated downtown area is not the way to detonate an explosive device meant to injure.
BTW, this is a presumptive act of terrorism. Whether domestic (DOMTERR) or international (INTERR) depends on the perpetrator(s) and motivation.
