Furious with the US tax agency Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a software engineer crashed his small plane into a seven-storey building in Texas housing nearly 200 federal tax employees, igniting a raging fire that sent workers running for their lives.
The suicide attack left two people injured inside the building and another person unaccounted for.
Officials here are investigating whether the pilot, identified as Joseph Andrew Stack, 53, crashed the plane intentionally. Stack was confirmed dead.
At least one person who worked in the building was unaccounted for and two people were hospitalised, according to Austin Fire Department Division Chief Dawn Clopton.
A US law official said investigators were looking at a lengthy, anti-government "manifesto" Stack is believed to have written on his Website. The message outlines problems with the IRS and says violence "is the only answer".
