FBI Probes Motive in Palm Springs Clinic Bombing

The FBI has identified 25-year-old Guy Edward Bartkus of Twentynine Palms as the perpetrator of the car bombing at the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California. Bartkus died in the attack, which injured at least four people and caused extensive damage to the area. Authorities say he was motivated by extreme anti-natalist and nihilistic views, as well as possible personal grievances, including references to a friend's recent violent death. Bartkus attempted to livestream the bombing, which involved a large vehicle-borne improvised explosive device. Clinic officials confirmed that no embryos or sensitive materials were lost. The FBI is reviewing Bartkus' manifesto and online activity, including any ties to extremist forums, as part of an ongoing investigation.
