FBI Arrests Florida Man for Alleged Bomb Plot on NYSE

Federal authorities arrested Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, a 30-year-old homeless man from Coral Springs, Florida, on Wednesday, November 20th, for allegedly plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). According to the FBI, Yener intended the attack to “reboot” the U.S. government by causing massive destruction. He is charged with attempting to use an explosive device to damage a building engaged in interstate commerce.

The FBI began investigating Yener in February after receiving a tip that he was storing bomb-making materials in a storage unit. Agents found sketches of explosive devices, watches with timers, and other electronic components that could be used to construct bombs. Yener allegedly told agents he was waiting for the “right moment” to act and had considered the NYSE as a target due to its symbolic importance.

Over the summer and fall, Yener discussed his plans with undercover FBI agents posing as collaborators. In October, he purchased tools, including a soldering iron and voltage meter, to assemble an improvised explosive device (IED). He reportedly selected the NYSE as the target, believing the attack would gain public support by highlighting grievances against the financial system. Yener told undercover agents, “The Stock Exchange…that would be a great hit.”

Court documents revealed that Yener planned to execute the bombing in the week before Thanksgiving. He also intended to release recordings to media outlets explaining his motives. In one audio statement, he described the planned attack as the beginning of a “new revolution” and encouraged others to take similar actions.

Yener’s arrest underscores the FBI’s efforts to prevent domestic terrorism through undercover operations. Authorities emphasized that no explosive device was ever placed at the NYSE, and the public was never in immediate danger. The case highlights the risks posed by lone actors who acquire bomb-making knowledge and materials online.

Yener appeared in federal court on Wednesday, November 20th, and will remain in custody while awaiting trial. If convicted, he faces significant prison time. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing threats to critical infrastructure and the vigilance required to protect public safety.
