BLITZER: We should get answers soon on what caused last month's deadly explosion at a fertilizer plant in the town of West, Texas. This afternoon the Texas fire marshal's office and the ATF plan to announce the results of their investigation into the blast. It killed 14 people, most of them volunteer firefighters who had rushed to the scene. Ed Lavandera joins us from West, Texas. Ed, what can we expect to hear?</s>ED LAVANDERA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Wolf, I think the big question here today is whether or not we will get a definitive answer into what caused the explosion here in the town of West, Texas, that killed so many first responders almost a month ago. Officials are not saying, at least early on, what they will announce here this afternoon, or they won't say so officially. But there has been a lot of intrigue swirling around a former first responder, a man by the name of Bryce Reed, who was arrested last week for possessing a pipe bomb. He was taken into custody, but authorities are not saying whether or not he is connected to the explosion in any way. They have said that they have not ruled out criminal activity as perhaps one of the causes into this explosion. But there are also other things they haven't ruled out as well. We'll wait and see what kind of definitive answers we get. But, as far as Bryce Reed is concerned, he was supposed to have made an appearance in federal court yesterday, which was abruptly canceled shortly before after his attorney and federal prosecutors came to an agreement. He is pleading not guilty to the charge he was charged with last week. But his attorney also consistently, aggressively says he has nothing to do with the explosion here. So these investigators will be asked about that quite a bit here later on today -- Wolf?</s>BLITZER: We'll have extensive live coverage. Thanks very much, Ed Lavandera, in West, Texas.
