The man believed to be responsible for the Christmas Day bombing that tore through downtown Nashville blew himself up in the explosion, and appears to have acted alone, federal officials said today.
Investigators used DNA and other evidence to link the man, identified as Anthony Quinn Warner to the mysterious explosion, though officials said they still had not uncovered a motive for the bombing. Officials have received hundreds of tips and leads, but do not believe anyone else was responsible for the early morning explosion that damaged dozens of buildings.
Warner, 63, had experience with electronics and alarms, according to public records, and had worked as a computer consultant for a Nashville realtor.
