Surveillance cameras showed a man walk up to the building soon after 4 a.m. on April 8 wearing a face covering, tactical vest and gloves, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI. The man then ignited an improvised explosive device, threw it at the main entrance then ran away. The bomb partially detonated, resulting in some minor fire damage, authorities said.

    This is a Federal crime so it doesn’t really matter where he appears. It is still a federal court. The trial could move to a Federal Court in Mass, but there is a lot between the initial hearing and a trial.
