The US police has achieved a major success. In a document filed in the court, it was told that the US police has arrested a person who was planning to bomb the New York Stock Exchange.
The arrested person has been identified as Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, whose age is said to be 30 years. Officials said that this person is from the Florida area. However, he does not live in any one place. The suspect lived like a homeless person. The arrested person shared his plan with the undercover officers.
Arrests follow months of investigation
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents arrested Harun Abdul-Malik Yener after a month-long investigation. Yener had reportedly asked undercover agents to help him find explosive components to make pipe bombs. However, the accused had no idea that the people he thought were militia members were actually undercover agents.
According to information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the suspect Harun Abdul-Malik Yener's motive for the bombing was to "reboot" the US government. The suspect said he chose the Stock Exchange Building in New York because a lot of people would support it.
What did Harun Abdul-Malik Yener say?
However, when officers asked him why he chose this location, the suspect said, "I've seen it before, I know the layout, there's hardly any security there." After searching a storage unit owned by Yener, officers found bomb-making sketches, timers, circuit boards and other electronics that are believed to have been used to make explosive devices.
What are the things in the FBI affidavit?
It is noteworthy that the FBI reported that Yener expressed anti-government sentiments. He claimed that America is now ready for revolution. At the same time, in a conversation with undercover agents, he told that he has made many efforts to join the right-wing militia. At the same time, Yener compared herself to Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks.
The suspect was first arraigned in a court in the Southern District of Florida on Wednesday. He was appointed a public defender here. However, Yener's intentions remain partly unclear. Federal authorities have emphasized the seriousness of his plans.
