A man who blew himself up in his apartment last month had a crude bomb lab, guns and 'white supremacist literature' in his bedroom, court documents have revealed.
Benjamin Douglas Morrow, 28, died on March 5 in his Beaver Dam, Wisconsin apartment. His body was found buried in rubble in front of an electric stove, court documents unsealed on Thursday reveal.
No one else was injured or killed in the explosion. Despite the findings, investigators have not yet drawn a conclusion about Morrow's motives or confirmed any active ties to groups.
State investigator Kevin Heimerl said he found 13 jars of the explosive triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, in the home, along with bomb-making instructions.
TATP has been used in a number of ISIS terror attacks in Europe. It is made with common household items and difficult to detect, but highly unstable and prone to detonate unexpectedly.
For that reason the explosive compound is known as the 'Mother of Satan'.
