Dec. 29 (UPI) -- The man who allegedly placed pipe bombs outside of political party headquarters on Jan. 5, 2021, said he didn't like either political party but believed that "extreme acts of violence" were justified because "they were in charge," federal prosecutors reported Sunday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Jones filed a request Sunday to keep Brian Cole Jr., 30, in jail while he waits for his trial. Cole is from Woodbridge, Va., where he lives with his mother and other family members.
Cole was arrested Dec. 4 and hasn't yet entered a plea. He is accused of placing two pipe bombs outside of the Democratic National Committee headquarters and the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C. Neither bomb detonated.
He has been charged with transporting an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.
