Florida Man Charged in NYSE Bomb Plot

Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, a 30-year-old homeless man from Florida, has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly plotting a bombing at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to 'reboot' the U.S. government. The FBI began investigating Yener in February after receiving a tip about bomb-making schematics found in his storage unit, where agents discovered timers, electronic circuit boards, and sketches for constructing explosives. Yener expressed anti-government sentiments and attempted to join right-wing militias, stating that detonating a bomb at the NYSE would serve as a political statement. He reportedly aimed to carry out the attack before Thanksgiving and had been in communication with undercover agents, who he believed could assist him in making the bomb. During interrogations, he compared the potential destruction to a 'small nuke,' indicating his intention to cause mass casualties. Yener is currently charged with attempting to destroy a building used in interstate commerce and is awaiting trial.
