US man arrested in January 6 pipe-bomb case

A Virginia man was arrested on Thursday for allegedly planting pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican party headquarters on the eve of the January 6, 2021 US Capitol riot, officials said.

Attorney General Pam Bondi identified the suspect as Brian Cole Jr. of Woodbridge, Virginia. The FBI released numerous photos and video clips of a masked and hooded suspect over the years and eventually increased the reward money for information leading to an arrest to half a million dollars.
