Mark Anthony Conditt, the man suspected of terrorizing Austin residents for nearly 20 days, died early Wednesday morning.
According to CNN, he killed himself inside his car with an explosive device just as authorities closed in on the bombing suspect.
Of Pflurgerville, Texas, Conditt has been identified as the domestic terrorist suspect wanted in the bombings.
As more details are unearthed about the domestic terrorist, TMZ reports that several blogs have revealed that Conditt had strong opinions and featured them within his blog while in attendance at Austin Community College.
The submitted blogs includes articles such as “Why we might want to consider doing away with sex offender registration,” “An argument for the death penalty,” and “The release of a terrorist,” which states his belief that terrorists should never be freed from custody.
“My view on free abortions,” Conditt states in one blog “if a women [sic] does not want a baby, or is incapable of taking care of one, she should not participate in activities that were made for that reason.”
In another controversial piece, he writes among other things, “Why gay marriage should be illegal,” he writes, “Homosexuality is not natural. Just look at the male and female bodies. They are obviously designed to couple.”
