Capitol riots pipe bomb suspect reward up to 100k as new video emerges

The reward being offered for leads in the case of the live pipe bombs placed outside Republican (RNC) and Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters on 6 January has been increased to $100,000 (£72,888), as new video footage appears to show that they were planted the day before.

On Friday, the FBI tweeted that it is now offering up to $100,000 for information about the explosive devices, which was an increase from the previously offered $50,000 (£36,440) and $75,000 (£54,660).

In a follow-up tweet, the agency described the suspect in detail, writing: “The individual wore a face mask, a grey hoodie, and Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes in black, grey, and yellow”.
