Palm Springs bombing investigation turns to the explosives: How were they sourced and built?
Briefly

Guy Edward Bartkus, a 25-year-old rocket hobbyist, died in a bombing that targeted the American Reproductive Centers in Palm Springs, injuring four. The attack, now deemed an act of intentional terrorism, has prompted a federal investigation into how Bartkus obtained a significant stockpile of explosives. FBI agents are searching his home in Twentynine Palms, where additional explosives were found. Despite the proximity to a major Marine base, there is no evidence linking Bartkus to military activities or stolen munitions, although past incidents of explosives going missing from the base have raised concerns.
The suspect in Saturday's bombing at a Palm Springs fertility clinic was a rocket hobbyist with radical views and an extraordinary amount of high-range explosives.
An hour away, in the small desert town of Twentynine Palms, FBI agents continued to comb through a house that records indicate he shared with his mother.
The bombing... is being investigated as an 'act of intentional terrorism.'
