“The Manhattan Bomber” – A search ensues after a homemade bomb explodes in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood injuring 30 people. When multiple additional bombs are discovered across Manhattan and New Jersey, the FBI works with local law enforcement to track down a suspect who comes to be known as “The Chelsea Bomber.” It culminates in a life-or-death standoff captured on bodycam. This episode takes you on the intense manhunt told by two of the key agents who led the charge, John Miller (a former assistant director of public affairs for the FBI) and Chuck Berger (a retired agent on the FBI’s NYC Joint Terrorism Task Force). Miller and Berger sit down with fellow agent Cindy Coppola and reveal never-before-shared details of the case, on the CBS Original series FBI TRUE, Tuesday, Oct. 3 (9:01-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
