The perpetrator of an act of terrorism targeting a Southern California fertility clinic was killed in the explosion, officials said.
The suspect left behind online writings and tried to stream the attack that tore through the Palm Springs clinic on Saturday.
“Make no mistake: This is an intentional act of terrorism,” said FBI official Akil Davis.
While the FBI did not elaborate on a motive or how it came to the conclusion that the attack was an act of terrorism, they said the suspect communicated a belief that the world should not be populated.
The unidentified suspect was killed in a car explosion. Four other people were injured.
“Thank God today happened to be a day that we have no patients,” Dr. Maher Abdallah said.
