                      FBI Arrests Suspect In Bombing Plot

   by VOA News

   Federal authorities have arrested a man suspected of plotting to bomb
   the U.S. Federal Reserve building in New York City.
   The suspect was arrested in lower Manhattan Wednesday. He is identified
   as a 21-year-old native of Bangladesh who traveled to the United States
   in January.
   Federal authorities say the man planned to detonate a van with
   explosives in a suicide mission. They say he was arrested in a sting
   operation and that there were no other suspects involved. Authorities
   say Nafis considered several locations for his attack, including the
   New York Stock Exchange.
   Earlier in the day, officials say he went to a warehouse to assemble a
   bomb, but used inert explosives provided by federal agents. He then
   allegedly parked the van near the Federal Reserve building and tried to
   detonate what he thought were explosives in the vehicle.
