“Police responded to reports of a suspicious vehicle parked outside an AT&T bldg just before 6am. Upon arrival, police said an officer had reason to alert the department's hazardous devices unit, which was en route, when a significant explosion happened.” https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/2020/12/25/downtown-nashville-explosion-christmas/4044635001/ https://twitter.com/joshbreslowwkrn/status/1342499604298932226
This feels very much like it was committed for the explicit purpose of inflaming the right & inciting violence. If they wanted to hurt people, they would have set off bombs during a busy time of day. They’re already running with the “We are at war, and it’s Christmas” narrative. https://twitter.com/npr/status/1342495790535766020

Gunshots may have been recorded. “Then five minutes later, it happened again. That’s why we now think it might have been recorded.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/fbi-investigating-nashville-explosion-believed-to-be-intentional
“There were a number of people who did evacuate and then we know of some people, it didn't go off when the message said it would and so people started coming back in, and then it went off.” https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/25/us/nashville-explosion/index.html
I’m seeing right-wing accounts reference this “ad” from June. “A Tennessee newspaper said it was investigating what its editor called a “horrific” full-page advertisement from a religious group that predicts a terrorist attack in Nashville next month.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/21/tennessee-newspaper-ad-islam-muslims-nashville
Excellent thread breaking down the highly unusual Nashville bombing. https://twitter.com/alexlittletn/status/1342588180697116675
