PBS高端访谈:美国纳什维尔圣诞节爆炸 作案者只为出名?（在线收听）

AMNA NAWAZ: And now to the Christmas Day bombing that rocked Nashville, Tennessee. We now know the who. The why remains a mystery. Stephanie Sy has our report.

STEPHANIE SY: Investigators are still going through the wreckage, as they did all through Christmas weekend. Among their discoveries, DNA evidence that linked back to 63-year old Anthony Quinn Warner. They now say he died in the explosion, an apparent suicide, and the only fatality.

DAVID RAUSCH, Director, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation: It does appear that the intent was more destruction than death. That's all still speculation at this point, as we continue in our investigation with all of our partners.

STEPHANIE SY: Authorities made clear Sunday that they do believe Warner acted alone. Over the weekend, federal agents searched Warner's house in a Nashville suburb. A Google maps image from 2019 showed an R.V. in the backyard. It looks similar to one in a photo police say was captured on a surveillance camera on Christmas in downtown Nashville. The R.V. parked, and a loudspeaker blared a warning to evacuate, along with a minute-by-minute countdown to the explosion. The moment of the blast was captured on video. Even in the empty early morning streets, chaos erupted. The bomb was so powerful, it damaged more than 40 buildings. Jeffrey Rasmussen and his family escaped, but felt the bomb's force.

JEFFREY RASMUSSEN, Nashville Resident: As we're driving away, this massive explosion. I mean, it's this huge -- I mean, I was looking forward, driving, and I hear the sound, and the whole car shifts.

STEPHANIE SY: Damage done to the AT&T building, where the explosive-laden R.V. parked, disrupted phone and Internet services in Tennessee and beyond. As of this morning the company said that the majority of services have been restored in Nashville. But the question of motive remains unanswered.

JOHN COOPER (D), Mayor of Nashville, Tennessee: To all of us locally, it feels like there has to be some connection with the AT&T facility and the site of the bombing. That's a bit of just local insight, and -- that it's got to have something to do with the infrastructure.

STEPHANIE SY: The bomber's late father had worked at AT&T, and authorities said his mother was cooperating with the investigation. And while the question of motive remains unanswered, a neighbor recounted the suspect saying less than a week ago that the world would not forget him. Warner was a computer consultant with a scant criminal record. A single marijuana possession charge dated back to 1978. He had not been on law enforcement's radar.

阿姆纳·纳瓦兹：现在我们来关注震惊田纳西州纳什维尔的圣诞节爆炸事件。我们已经知道是谁制造了这场爆炸，但是原因尚不清楚。下面请听斯蒂芬妮·西为我们报道。

斯蒂芬妮·西：调查人员仍在检查飞机残骸，检查已经持续了整个圣诞周末。他们根据DNA查到了63岁的安东尼·奎因·华纳，而他本人已经在爆炸中死亡，是明显的自杀行为，只有他一个人丧命。

大卫·劳施，田纳西州调查局局长：看来他的目的是制造破坏而不是死亡，目前这些都还只是猜测，我们还在和所有合作方继续调查。

斯蒂芬妮·西：当局周日明确表示，他们相信华纳是单独行动。周末，联邦探员搜查了华纳在纳什维尔郊区的住处。谷歌地图2019年的一幅图像显示，其房屋后院有一辆房车。这张照片看上去和圣诞节在纳什维尔市中心被监控摄像头拍到的照片很相似。房车停好了，喇叭里发出疏散警告，同时还在倒计时，随时准备爆炸。爆炸的瞬间被录像记录了下来，甚至在清晨空荡荡的街道上也爆发了混乱。炸弹威力巨大，破坏了40多座建筑。杰弗里·拉斯穆森和他的家人逃了出来，但感觉到了炸弹的威力。

杰弗里·拉斯穆森，纳什维尔居民：在我们开车离开的时候，这个巨大的爆炸，我是说，太强了……我是说，我正想着……开着车，然后就听到了爆炸的声音，然后整辆车都在移动。

斯蒂芬妮·西：装有炸药的房车停放在美国电话电报公司的大楼里，该大楼受到的破坏中断了田纳西州及其他地区的电话和互联网服务。截至今天上午，该公司表示纳什维尔的大部分服务已经恢复，但是尚未查出嫌疑人的动机。

约翰·库珀，田纳西州纳什维尔市市长：对我们所有当地人来说，我觉得这和美国电话电报公司的设施和爆炸现场一定有某种联系。这只是当地人的见解，而且——这肯定和基础设施有关。

斯蒂芬妮·西：嫌疑人已故的父亲曾经在美国电话电报公司工作过，当局表示他的母亲正在配合调查。虽然还未找到作案动机，但据一名邻居回忆说，就在不到一周前，犯罪嫌疑人说全世界会记住他。华纳是一名电脑顾问，很少有犯罪记录。1978年就有一起非法持有大麻的指控。执法部门没有注意到他。这里是PBS新闻一小时，我是斯蒂芬妮·西。
