What the FBI thinks about the Malzahar and Garen Bombings

The FBI said it is investigating the deaths of three people in the capital city of Washington, DC, after a bomb detonated inside a Washington, D.C., apartment building on Wednesday.

The FBI on Thursday said it has not yet determined the motive for the attack.

In a statement, the FBI said that a suspect identified as Garen Singh was captured in the Washington area.

The agency said he is a U.S. citizen of Indian descent and was killed by law enforcement.

“We are currently conducting a joint investigation with local authorities,” the statement said.

The investigation is ongoing and the FBI is providing the media updates at a press briefing Thursday afternoon.
