FBI seeks man in restaurant incident

PASADENA, Calif. – Police in Southern California have released surveillance video of a man being sought for questioning after someone threw a homemade incendiary device into a crowded restaurant last month. Pasadena police and the FBI announced a US$20,000 reward Friday for information in the case.

People scrambled to get out of the Cheesecake Factory restaurant but no one was injured in the Feb. 2 incident. Police have said the device made a loud bang and emitted smoke.

Deirdre Fike, the assistant director in charge of the FBI in Los Angeles says there’s no evidence the incident was a terrorist act.
