Hirsch is suspected in last Thursday's explosion at Chabad House that sent a 300-pound metal pipe encased in concrete crashing through the roof of a home next.
No one was injured in the explosion.
At first authorities thought the blast was accidental but later determined explosives had been used.
The FBI said Hirsch fled California on a Greyhound bus.
