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.

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

Previously worked as a computer tech. Was he still working at the time of the bombing or had he quit or been fired?

in another article they mention he had a blog where spoke against gay marriage. I’m wondering if he wasn’t closeted. Struggling with homosexuality, especially if you’re a man, can turn you to dirka dirka jihad. Just a hunch.
