WASHINGTON — Federal authorities Tuesday arrested a man they say firebombed an anti-abortion group after the FBI used DNA it pulled from a partly eaten burrito to connect him to the Mason jar used in the attack.

Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury was arrested Tuesday in Boston and charged in connection with the firebombing of the office of Wisconsin Family Action in Madison on May 8.

“If abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either," someone had written on the wall of the building in graffiti during the attack, which took place just days after Politico broke the news that the Supreme Court had the votes to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Authorities were able to pull DNA off of a Mason jar they found inside, as well as from the window glass and on a lighter found at the scene, a Dane County deputy who serves on a FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force wrote in an affidavit.

1. Always finish your burrito

9. I know!

4. It's a shame

The prosecutors on the trump rape case can’t get a break like this. Trump never leaves anything uneaten. Not even a partial condiment package. It all gets sucked into that perfectly round vacuum hole in his face.

5. More trumpscum.

13. The guy attacked an anti-choice facility

15. Yes.

I was speaking generically (and ironically) of someone who turns to violence to solve his problems.

6. This guy needs decades in jail.

Those "pro-life" assholes that destroy planned parenthood and clinics should be in jail for decades also.

It's one thing to disagree on abortion.

It's simply WRONG to commit violence either on one side or another.

Or condone it.

[Kaleva]

14. I agree.

[Javaman]

7. twas the burrito which done him in! nt

[Bayard]

8. Heartburn AND arrest

What a deal!

[msfiddlestix]

10. slam dunk case! Oh wait. I'm not a lawyer so I can't possibly assess.

Probably should find out when the event occurred..

Was it in the past week or so? Then wouldn't it be much too soon for enough evidence to warrant an arrest and be charged?

11. Firebombing is terrorism

Domestic terrorism....put him away forever.

12. They caught the "Grim Sleeper" serial killer

with a unfinished pizza slice, if it's collected on public property no warrant needed.
