The 23-year-old man linked to the deadly bombings that rocked Austin, Texas, and surrounding areas over the past month had a "target list" of future locations he wanted to strike, the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security said Thursday.
Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, said that authorities have discovered that Mark Anthony Conditt, 23, had a "target list of future targets" including residences and addresses discovered by authorities.
"I think he had pulled these addresses, these were his future targets. It was a target list." he said on "America's Newsroom."
McCaul added that based on the data authorities were able to retrieve from Conditt, they were able to go the homes and "clear them" from any suspicious packages.
"We were also able to use technology to find a digital footprint of where his cellphone had been, so that the key evidence was getting his cellphone number so that when he turned his cellphone immediately the SWAT teams descended on him at about 3 oclock in the morning so we got close to him before he blew himself up," he said.
McCaul told Fox News that authorities are now looking at those addresses that Conditt pulled to try to find a link between them.
"That is what we are looking at right now. What is the common denominator between all these victims, or is it just completely random?" he said.

where did you find out that his dad was senior fbi and what other one are you referring to?
I believe you have your facts wrong re: his dad. The dad’s name is different.
double checking to make sure it seems I made an error, never mind
Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski machined his own screws and other tiny bomb parts so they couldn’t be traced.
Certainly not EverReady batteries.
The impression of the Conditt character Im reading is one of a Jeckyll and Hyde type. By day, an upstanding and likeable young man. By night a cunning but troubled young adult.
There are folks out there who can pull the wool over the eyes of family and friends, so the idea that he can be a regular dude by day and a bomber by night is not so far-fetched. But there are enough gaps in this guys character (what little we know) that Im surprised that a jobless, home-schooled Millennial with no prior record or known issues (again, as he is presented as not having) would think up and embark on a bombing campaign all by themselves. And that the authorities are seemingly so quick to close the book on it.
I don't see this as a violation of search and seizure. Obtaining location and identification data in the course of a criminal investigation is entirely appropriate, and we voluntarily give that information to our cell phone companies. They are entitled to share it at will, subject, of course, to customer backlash if their sharing becomes offensive.
Lets loose the flowery words...this guy was also considered so....
His cell phone survived the explosion fully intact? How did the authorities access.it?
I’m more concerned about how a 23 year old loser gets ahold of explosives and detonation devices.
First I have hear of what you say. Can you elaborate? I am not doubting you, but man if it is true a lot of other things come into play.
Internet. Everything you need to build such things is found at a grocery store.
Yeah, Amazon sells terrific bicycle lights made in China for under $50 that are rated at 10,000 LM. Really, I don’t think they are 2,000 LM, but that’s still brighter than anything else in their price range. The problem is that the Chinese Li batteries that come with them last about two months, so I am constantly buying more of these very unique Asian batteries at $6-7 a pop. I suppose that puts me on a list somewhere.
Funny that. The FBI took over ...and all silence...
What challenges? How to tell Mommy and Daddy that he's a homo?
I noticed the same thing. In proper grammar, the adjective unique should not be modified via another adjective. Something is either unique, or it is not unique. There are not varying degrees of unique.
