Video shows person sought in explosion at Alabama Attorney General’s Office

Authorities are asking for the public’s help identifying a person of interest in an explosion outside the Alabama Attorney General’s Office.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency on Wednesday released video footage of what appeared to be a man wearing dark clothing and a toboggan walking on a Montgomery sidewalk.

The detonation took place in Saturday’s early morning hours near the intersection of Washington Avenue and South Bainbridge Street.

No one was injured and no damage reported.

Marshall issued this statement Monday:

“In the early hours of Saturday, February 24, an explosive device was detonated outside of the Alabama Attorney General’s Office building in Montgomery. Thankfully, no staff or personnel were injured by the explosion. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency will be leading the investigation, and we are urging anyone with information to contact them immediately.”

ALEA Sgt. Jeremy Burkett said the State Bureau of investigation was notified about the incident at 8:19 a.m. Monday.

Troopers assigned to ALEA’s Protective Services Division and special agents assigned to ALEA’s Hazardous Device Unit, along with ATF agents and Montgomery police responded to the scene and deemed the area safe.

On Tuesday, the FBI has launched a website for tips.

Anyone with information that could help identify persons of interest in the case was asked to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
