Florida Man's Alleged NYSE Bomb Plot

A 30-year-old Florida man, Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, has been arrested and charged with attempting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) before Thanksgiving. The FBI's investigation, initiated by a tip about bomb-making schematics stored in his unlocked storage unit, uncovered bomb-making materials and internet searches dating back to 2017.

Yener allegedly met with undercover FBI agents, expressing his desire to join an anti-government militia and construct an explosive device. He detailed plans to target the NYSE, aiming for a "reboot" of the US government. He even constructed a remote trigger and researched the NYSE's layout. He allegedly planned to wear a disguise and plant the bomb outside the building, expecting an explosion like a "small nuke."

According to reports from the Associated Press, CBS News, and the BBC, Yener's goal was to "wake people up" by targeting the NYSE.

Yener appeared in court and remains in detention awaiting trial. The U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of Florida, has not yet released the full criminal complaint.
