Suspect in Austin Parcel Bombings Dead After Police Operation
Authorities say 23-year-old college dropout Mark Anthony Conditt, believed to be responsible for a string of mail bombs in the Texas capital, has died after detonating a device in his car as police chased him. The series of parcel bombs killed two people and sparked an FBI and ATF manhunt for the still-unidentified bomber. The two most recent devices, both mailed from Austin, were found at FedEx facilities yesterday. Police say they haven’t identified a motive yet and have warned that Conditt may have planted more bombs before his death.
