Florida Man Arrested for NYSE Bomb Plot

Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, a homeless man from Florida, was arrested for allegedly plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange, as revealed by a court filing after months of FBI investigation. Yener sought assistance from undercover agents to acquire explosive components, believing they were militia members. His motivations included a desire to instigate a government 'reboot' and to cause significant destruction, with the Stock Exchange selected as a target due to its public visibility and perceived lack of security. Evidence uncovered during searches included bomb-making sketches and electronics, alongside internet history dating back to 2017 related to bomb-making. Law enforcement reported Yener expressed anti-government sentiments and cited a desire for revolution, paralleling sentiments previously associated with extremist figures. He has been assigned a federal public defender, but the defense has not yet commented on the case.
