Who is Harun Abdul-Malik Yener? Florida man arrested over bomb threat to New York Stock Exchange

FBI arrested Harun Abdul-Malik Yener for allegedly planning a bombing at the NYSE to “reset” the US government.

Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, a South Florida resident, has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as part of a plan to “reset” or “reboot” the U.S. government. According to unsealed court documents, Yener faces charges of attempting to use an improvised explosive device (IED) against a “building used in interstate or foreign commerce.”

The investigation into Yener began in February when the FBI received a tip about his possession of bomb-making plans stored in a locked Coral Springs storage unit. Upon executing a search warrant, agents discovered “bomb-making sketches, numerous watches with timers, electronic circuit boards, and other electronics” that could be used to construct explosives, per the criminal complaint.
