FULL TITLE: SWAT team descends on Austin bomber's home and speak to shirtless man just hours after the homeschooled Christian blew himself up during police chase, ending 19-day campaign of terror

The 23-year-old who blew himself up as police tried to arrest him over a string of deadly Austin bombings has been described as a quiet, home-schooled young man.

Mark Anthony Conditt killed himself when he detonated a bomb inside his SUV as police surrounded him near a hotel on Interstate 35, just outside Austin, at about 2am on Wednesday.

Police closed in on the bomber after obtaining CCTV footage of him posting two packages at a FedEx office that intended to target people of color on Sunday night.

Authorities are warning that more bombs could still be out there because they do not know if the bomber posted more devices prior to his death.

Police started evacuating the area near where Conditt lived at about 1pm on Wednesday, fearing there could explosives there. They have since questioned his two housemates about their knowledge of the bombings.

The bomber had gone on a three week bombing spree stretching back to March 2. The series of bombings killed two people and injured at least five others. The most recent package bomb detonated at a FedEx distribution center near San Antonio early Tuesday.

Police still do not know the motive behind the attacks or whether the bomber had an accomplice, but did say he wasn't previously known to law enforcement.

Police believe Conditt, who previously worked as a computer repair technician and at a manufacturing company, made all the bombs himself.

Was he merely the delivery boy, and the bomb maker is still unknown?

If they came to his home early in the morning he may have been in bed. Lots of men sleep that way. I guess they have limited facts to write about in the article.

NONE of the Muslim terrorists were home-schooled Christians, right Mr Guardian?

Fascinating. You can have a person brutally attacked by a mob, assaulted or murdered by deranged Leftists, and the most you can get out of the media is “a group of teens” or “a man in a blue jacket”.

But hey, on this, we get “the homeschooled Christian”. I think they defined him as “white” in all the original reports, so that is all out of the way.

Yeah, LOL, I have kids in their late 20’s who were homeschooled who have graduated college, been married for several years, have children of their own and have been working full-time for ten years, but they’d probably still be referred to as homeschooled christian youths by this fish wrapper.

At 24 yrs old why would the fact he was public or home schooled 6 years ago matter in the slightest ?

In today’s environment there is some device that almost always
has you in it’s scope of info. Incognito is pretty hard to be with
today’s technology.

Well, once he is dead by blowing himself up, you really don't need to worry about him suing you for defamation.

No mention of college? Professors? Major? Recent work experience? Girlfriend/boyfriend/parent trouble? Police record?

He was a home schooled Christian! Isn't that enough?

It doesn’t or, at least,shouldn’t.
But finally the left may have someone other than Timothy McVeigh, the OK.City bomber to call a “Christian Terrorist”.
They must be wetting themselves, with glee, over at CNN and MSNBC?

He evidently graduated or at least attended community college. So, home schooling was a while back.

Aw, geez. Can’t believe I forgot to include the VERY important fact that he was white.

My MSM spin skills are slipping.
