Florida Man Arrested Over Plot to Bomb New York Stock Exchange

A Florida man was arrested on Wednesday over an alleged plot to bomb the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to “reset” the U.S. government, according to unsealed documents.

Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, a South Florida resident, was charged with attempting to use an improvised explosive device to damage or destroy a “building used in interstate or foreign commerce,” according to court documents.

FBI agents started probing Yener in February after getting a tip that he was storing bomb schematics in an unlocked Coral Springs, Fla., storage unit.
