Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe says the Federal Bureau of Investigation is likely investigating the “intentional” Christmas morning explosion of an RV in downtown Nashville as an act of terrorism.
“I would expect that the FBI is treating this presumptively as an act of terrorism,” McCabe, who also served as acting Director of the FBI, told CNN Friday afternoon. CNN reported the FBI is taking the lead on the investigation.
“That doesn’t necessarily mean that it is an act of international terrorism, or domestic terrorism,” McCabe added.
“Those two possibilities are still looming out there, we really have to know more about the people behind it before you can make that sort of determination.”
McCabe added that “anytime you have the intentional detonation of an explosive device like this,” the FBI would investigate it as if it were terrorism.
