The suspect, identified by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as Guy Edward Bartkus, 25, is believed to have detonated a powerful car bomb outside the American Reproductive Centers clinic in the desert city of Palm Springs on May 17. The FBI said Bartkus died in the blast, which damaged several buildings and left four others injured.

Federal investigators say the man responsible for a suicide bombing outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, had personal ties to Washington state.
