FBI increases reward for information on Capitol pipe bomber to $75,000

Federal authorities increased the reward for information about the bomber who placed a pair of explosives during the Capitol unrest earlier in the month.

The FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives announced a $75,000 reward on Thursday via Twitter, up from $50,000. The decision comes after the FBI cautioned law enforcement agencies that the bomb maker was still on the loose and his or her apprehension was a “top priority” before the inauguration of President Biden.
