The American federal police (FBI) on Wednesday apprehended a thirty-year-old in Florida (Southeast United States) who was planning to detonate a homemade bomb in front of the New York Stock Exchange.
The individual, of no fixed address, wanted to “reset the state”, indicated the Federal Bureau of Investigation which began an investigation into the suspect last February.
The FBI noted that its agents discovered bomb-making schematics, circuit boards and other electronic devices that could be used for explosive devices, adding that the suspect had been researching bomb-making techniques online for 2017.
According to the federal police, the suspect had planned to carry out the attack a few days before the Thanksgiving holiday scheduled for next week.
Presented before a federal judge, the suspect should soon be charged with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and material support for terrorism, according to several media.
