Foley said.<\/p>\n<p>She noted that authorities designated the incident as &ldquo;isolated&rdquo; and determined that there was no ongoing threat to the community.<\/p>\n<p>The special agent in charge of the FBI Boston field office, Ted Docks, said no one was injured in the explosion, though the act &ldquo;could have resulted in casualties&rdquo; if the building had been occupied at the time.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Setting off an explosive device inside a locker at an institution geared toward higher education is not some harmless college prank. It&rsquo;s selfish, it&rsquo;s short-sighted, and it&rsquo;s a federal crime. What&rsquo;s equally disturbing: these two men allegedly boasted about what they did to their friends. We believe these two knew what they were doing was wrong, and they did it anyway,&rdquo; Docks said.<\/p>\n<p>Docks called the explosion &ldquo;deliberate and extremely dangerous.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Foley recounted the scene caught on surveillance cameras at approximately 2:33 a.m. on Nov. 1.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Surveillance cameras captured two suspects wearing face coverings, walking near the medical school and lighting what appeared to be a Roman Candle firework. Approximately 10 minutes later, the defendants were allegedly seen climbing scaffolding on the side of 220 Longwood Avenue and accessing the roof,&rdquo; Foley said<\/p>\n<p>Several minutes later, Harvard&rsquo;s campus police responded to an explosion on the fourth floor of the building, the site of a medical school neurobiology research laboratory, Foley said. She detailed that surveillance cameras also caught the defendants &ldquo;allegedly exiting the building through a first-floor emergency exit and fleeing the area in opposite directions.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Apparently, they were aware that they may have been caught on security footage because they began ditching distinctive items of clothing that they were previously wearing,&rdquo; Foley said.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/3871831\/two-suspects-wanted-explosion-harvard-medical-school\/\">TWO SUSPECTS WANTED AFTER &lsquo;INTENTIONAL&rsquo; EXPLOSION AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Great work @FBIBoston and partners &ndash; another win for our Joint Terrorism Task Force getting the job done.
