The FBI has arrested a Florida man, 30-year-old Harun Abdul-Malik Yener from Coral Springs, on charges of plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange in an attempt to "reset" the U.S. government. Yener, who is homeless, was taken into custody on Wednesday after an undercover investigation that began in February following a tip about bomb-making schematics. He has been charged with attempting to use an explosive device to damage or destroy a building used in interstate commerce. According to charging documents unsealed on Wednesday, Yener allegedly expressed that he "feels like Bin Laden" and wanted to target the NYSE. He intended to carry out the attack this week.
