On Christmas morning, investigation results revealed that a suspect in a car explosion in Nashville, Tennessee, home of American country music, committed self-destruction at the scene and appears to be a single crime.

At the time, an explosion video was also released.

This is a video of a police car on a Christmas morning when a Nashville car exploded.

This is the moment when a recreational vehicle exploded in the middle of the city while the police blocking the traffic fell behind.

The impact of a powerful explosion along with the flames caused the debris to fly far near the police car.

The explosion injured 3 people, destroyed 40 nearby shops, and destroyed windows.

Investigation authorities pointed to the suspect, 63-year-old Anthony Quinn Warner, from Nashville, whose DNA matched the remains found at the site of the explosion.

They also concluded that the suspect committed self-destruction and was a solo offense.

However, the investigating authorities said they have not yet reached a conclusion on the motive of the crime.

[더그 코네스키 / FBI 지부장 : 국내 테러와 연계된 사건을 평가할 때 이데올로기와 결부돼야 합니다. 정치·사회적 이념이나 사건을 키우기 위해 무력이나 폭력을 사용하는 것입니다. 아직까진 테러 결부 사실을 확인하지 못하고 있습니다.]

Investigation authorities are noting that the site of the explosion was near the office of AT&T, a U.S. telecommunications company, which caused some communications services to be interrupted and the airport’s plane takeoff was temporarily suspended.

Investigation authorities are said to be investigating whether Warner thought that 5G networks were a tool for spying on Americans, and whether this paranoia was the background of the case.

Immediately before the explosion on the 25th, the vehicle exploded after a video message continued to flow from the vehicle warning that a bomb would detonate in 15 minutes.
