Before his death, the man who detonated a bomb on Christmas Day in downtown Nashville had sent documents about his opinions to people he knew, federal investigators said on Saturday.
In a statement to The Associated Press, FBI Special Agent Jason Pack said authorities were “aware that the suspect had sent documents which espoused his views to several acquaintances across the country.”
Authorities said Anthony Warner, 63, was responsible for the explosion, which damaged dozens of buildings and injured several people. Warner died in the blast and officials have not disclosed a motive.
Pack did not release further details on what the Warner packages contained, but he urged anyone who may have received material from Warner to contact the FBI at 800-CALL-FBI.
The bombing took place on Christmas morning long before the streets of downtown were busy. Police were responding to a report of gunfire on Friday when they encountered the recreational vehicle shouting a recorded warning that a bomb would explode in 15 minutes. Then, inexplicably, the audio switched to a recording of Petula Clark’s 1964 hit “Downtown” shortly before the explosion.
