(CNN) When a 23-year-old man unleashed a wave of deadly bombings this month in Austin, Texas, interim police Chief Brian Manley did not characterize the acts as terrorism. "I actually agree now that he was a domestic terrorist for what he did to us," Manley told a panel discussion hosted Thursday by KUT-FM, Austin's National Public Radio station. "This is a distinction I wanted to make today," Manley told the panel. I'm very comfortable saying that to our community and what he did to us, he was a domestic terrorist," Manley said. After the bomber killed himself with explosives March 21 as police approached him, Manley told reporters that a 25-minute confession video found later on his cell phone didn't shed light on his motive.
