American investigators searched a house in a suburb of Nashville, as part of extensive investigations to uncover who was behind the Christmas morning bombing, and while the hypothesis of the suicide attack was being examined, the authorities confirmed that there were no other threats.

Amid tight security measures, a team of investigators from various federal agencies and police in Nashville, Tennessee state (southeastern United States) searched a house located in the suburb of Antioch (15 km southeast of the area where the tour cart exploded on Friday morning).

And US media reported that the house belongs to a person of interest to the ongoing investigations, and is believed to be the owner of the vehicle used in the bombing.

The inspection took place after the security authorities received hundreds of statements from citizens.

Yesterday, American media reported the name of a 63-year-old man from Nashville, which investigators suspect may be related to the bombing, which killed 3 people and caused damage to more than 40 buildings.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation "FBI" (FBI) refused to disclose the details of the investigations that it may have found about the perpetrator of the attack, saying only that it will take some time.

CNN yesterday quoted investigators as saying that the Nashville bombing was likely caused by a suicide act, after the discovery of what are believed to be human remains at the site of the bombing, which investigators say that the perpetrator did not seek - apparently - to entrap victims;

Since the vehicle was detonated after issuing a sound warning from inside it, and the streets were then empty of pedestrians.

While the authorities continue to collect evidence, as part of a large investigation involving hundreds, including 250 from the FBI;

Personalities and NGOs in Nashville offered a reward of $ 300,000 to anyone who provided information leading to the arrest of the bomber.
