An FBI manhunt for a suspected synagogue bomber from Southern California briefly shifted to Denver today, when video surveillance cameras showed a man thought to be Ron Hirsch getting off a Greyhound bus here.
The agency thinks Hirsch was enroute to New York when he got off the New York-bound bus over the weekend and then did not reboard.
NBC News reported tonight that Hirsch had been arrested in Cleveland.
A transient who uses the alias J. Fisher and Israel Fisher, Hirsch, 60, is suspected of bombing a temple in Santa Monica, Calif. last Thursday. The bomb launched a concrete-encased piece of pipe into a home next door. The launcher used explosive powder and dry ice, authorities told media in Southern California.
No one was injured in the 6:45 a.m. blast.
The bus the man thought to be Hirsch was traveling on arrived in New York Sunday without him, the FBI said in a media release.
