United States: According to law enforcement and explosion experts, the suspected bomber was a rocket fanatic known for his radical beliefs and for owning a great deal of highly explosive materials used skillfully in the Palm Springs fertility clinic attack.
The FBI reported on Monday that DNA testing showed the 25-year-old suspect died in the blast and injury of four at the American Reproductive Centers building in the popular city.
Since the bombing happened late at night when the clinic was not open, it is being considered an intentional act of terrorism.
Just one hour from California, agents are still searching a house he shared with his mother in Twentynine Palms and found explosives there, according to reports, latimes.com reported.
A number of those who live in the area of the blast zone were permitted to go back to their homes on Monday afternoon.
It remains unknown how Bartkus managed to get all of the deadly weapons after the bombing.
The Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, considered the biggest Marine training center, is situated in Twentynine Palms.
The spokesperson stated that Bartkus was not associated with the Marine Corps. Capt. The spokesperson for the combat center, Johnathon Huizar, stated that Bartkus was never allowed on base either.
Huizar did not discuss recent cases of missing or stolen explosives and asked The Times to use the Freedom of Information Act for those documents, latimes.com reported.
At the beginning of 2021, part of the 10 pounds of plastic explosives used in training at Twentynine Palms was reported missing and was believed to have been stolen, according to the news.
According to news reports, the material was found, yet the military did not provide much information about the event.
