The FBI has made an arrest in connection with the attempted bombing along the route of the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in downtown Spokane.

An FBI source in Washington, D.C., said one man was arrested east of Spokane. Agents, including a bomb expert from Quantico, Va., were preparing to search a house where others associated with the suspect were living, the source said.

The suspects are apparently affiliated with white supremacists.

The source, who is familiar with the investigation but is not authorized to speak on the record, said that "good police work" led to the arrest and that forensic evidence taken from a backpack bomb was key to the case.

It is not known whether additional arrests were anticipated. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Spokane is expected to hold a news briefing later Wednesday.
