The car bombing outside a California fertility clinic, which killed one person and injured four others, appears to be driven by anti-natalist ideology, according to two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the incident.

Anti-natalism refers to the belief that no one should have children. Investigators are focusing on social media posts made by the suspect, which they say support anti-natalist views. While the posts are still being verified, officials believe they reflect the ideology behind the bombing.

The suspect, who has not been identified, was reportedly dealing with depression and had personal relationship issues.

The seriousness of the injuries of those hurt by the blast were not disclosed.

The deceased, found near the vehicle, has not been identified, and the severity of the injuries was not disclosed.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation deemed the explosion an act of terrorism on Saturday.
