A disgruntled software engineer, smashed his small plane into a seven-storey tax office building in Texas in a kamikaze-style attack, killing one person and leaving 13 others injured, police said on Friday.
Joseph Andrew Stack, who was furious at the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS), crashed his small plane into the building in Austin, Texas housing nearly 200 federal tax employees, igniting a raging fire that sent workers running for their lives.
The suicide attack left one person dead and 13 injured inside the Austin building. Stack, 53, who crashed the Piper Dakota into the building, was also confirmed dead.
The incident was described as an intentional assault on a US government institution, but authorities have said the crash did not appear to have any terror links.
"This appears to be an intentional act by a sole individual and it appears this individual was targeting federal offices in that building," Austin police chief Art Acevedo told reporters.
