Well, this is awful. Not many national news sites (yet) but local and tabloids are reporting that suicide bomber Anthony Warner may have targeted the AT&T building in downtown Nashville because of paranoia about 5G technology.

Rumors are that he said he had cancer. Perhaps he thought there was a connection. His dad, also a telecom worker, died of dementia in 2011.
This The Atlantic article shows that practically every new tech is associated with irrational fears.
No one except the perpetrator was killed in the blast on Christmas morning but cellular and internet service was disrupted.
