'The FBI has relayed that, to date, they have not developed any information or evidence indicating criminal intent in this investigation.'Law enforcement officials determined that Akhshabi wasn't a threat to the Georgia Tech community, but it remains unclear what he planned to do with the explosive material found in his apartment.
