An explosion tore through a fertility clinic in the upscale California city of Palm Springs, leaving one person believed to be the suspect dead in an attack the FBI characterised as terrorism.
A burned-out vehicle was seen in the parking lot behind the clinic after the blast, which caved in the building's roof, sprayed debris across a five-lane road and shattered windows in businesses blocks away. The clinic was closed for the weekend, and the doctor who leads it said its staffers were safe.
