Authorities on Wednesday released images of an unknown person of interest as they investigate an explosive device left outside the Alabama attorney general’s office.
The device was detonated outside the AG’s office in Montgomery at about 3:42 a.m. Saturday, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said.
No injuries or damage was reported and the area was deemed safe, the agency said.
The “explosive device” that went off outside the AG’s office was a rudimentary device, detonated with no timer or remote, according to a source familiar with the situation.
The ALEA, FBI and Alabama Attorney General’s Office are now asking the public to help them identify a person of interest who they say “may have information related to this crime,” the ALEA said in a statement Wednesday.

The Alabama attorney general’s office was the target of a potentially dangerous incident recently, as an explosive device was left outside the building. In an effort to identify the individual responsible for this act, the police have released images of a person of interest in the investigation.
The incident occurred on a weekday morning when employees arrived at work and discovered the suspicious package outside the office. The bomb squad was called in to safely remove and disarm the explosive device, which fortunately did not detonate. However, the incident has raised concerns about the safety and security of government officials and employees in Alabama.
The police have been working diligently to gather evidence and identify the individual responsible for leaving the explosive device at the attorney general’s office. Surveillance footage from nearby cameras captured images of a person of interest who was seen in the vicinity of the building around the time of the incident.
The images released by the police show a person wearing a hooded sweatshirt and dark pants, carrying a backpack. The individual’s face is not clearly visible in the images, but authorities are hoping that someone may recognize the person based on their clothing or other distinguishing features.
The police are urging anyone with information about the person of interest or the incident to come forward and assist with the investigation. They are also reminding the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity or packages to law enforcement immediately.
Incidents like this serve as a reminder of the potential dangers that law enforcement officials and government employees face in carrying out their duties. It is essential for authorities to thoroughly investigate such incidents and hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
As the investigation into the explosive device left at the Alabama attorney general’s office continues, the police are hopeful that releasing images of the person of interest will lead to valuable tips and ultimately help solve the case. The safety and security of government officials and employees must be prioritized, and efforts to prevent similar incidents in the future must be taken seriously.
