Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, 30, was arrested for allegedly plotting to detonate a bomb at the New York Stock Exchange, aiming to 'reboot' the U.S. government.
The FBI found bomb-making schematics and devices in Yener's possession. He had been researching bomb-making since 2017 and had recently modified two-way radios for remote detonations.
Yener expressed the belief that detonating a bomb at the stock exchange would 'wake people up', indicating a desire for attention to his extreme ideals.
Reports indicate Yener, who was unhoused and had a history of making threats, was fired from a restaurant last year, which may have contributed to his radicalization.
