Harrowing images taken on Monday show the aftermath of the Christmas Day explosion in downtown Nashville as investigators reveal the suspected bomber purchased explosive chemicals with a credit card before the incident. Authorities from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) were seen processing the area where the explosion occurred. The teams searched for clues and other evidence that could shine some light on the ongoing investigation. Officials identified the suspected bomber as Anthony Quinn Warner (inset), 63, who is said to have told his neighbor that ‘the world is never going to forget me’ days before the explosion that injured at least eight people. Warner left behind clues that suggest he planned the bombing and intended to kill himself, but a clear motive remained elusive. ‘We hope to get an answer. Sometimes, it’s just not possible,’ David Rausch, the director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, said Monday in an interview on NBC’s Today show. ‘The best way to find motive is to talk to the individual. We will not be able to do that in this case.’ Authorities said Warner is believed to have acted alone and used his credit card to purchase chemical precursors and security alarms.
