Car bombing at Palm Springs fertility clinic an ‘intentional act of terrorism,’ FBI says

 A car bomb outside a Palm Springs, Calif., fertility clinic that killed one and injured four was an intentional act of terrorism, the FBI declared Saturday night.

Special Agent Akil David, the assistant director for the FBI office Los Angeles, said the blast shortly before 11 AM PT damaged buildings over a wide radius and was targeted.

It was an "intentional act of terrorism," David said.

Palm Springs Police Chief Andy Miles said the victim had not yet been identified.

"Terrorism came knocking on the door of Palm Springs," Miles said in a news conference. "We survived, and I can tell you that this city will rise and be more effective as a beacon of hope than before."

Attorney General Pam Bondi said federal agents were working to gather evidence.

"Let me be clear: the Trump administration understands that women and mothers are the heartbeat of America. Violence against a fertility clinic is unforgivable,"'Bondi said.

The American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic said no staff members were injured and that some of its fertility equipment was spared in the blast.

"This morning, an unexpected and tragic incident occurred outside our Palm Springs facility when a vehicle exploded in the parking lot near our building," the company wrote on Facebook. "We are heartbroken to learn that this event claimed a life and caused injuries, and our deepest condolences go out to the individuals and families affected."
