Harun Abdul-Malik Yener made a series of audio recordings to be sent to NBC News around the time of the planned bombing, the complaint says.

Summary

The FBI arrested Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, a homeless Florida man, for plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange to force a “reboot” of the U.S. government.

Agents found bomb-making materials in his storage unit and tracked him as he prepared the attack, believing it would gain public support against government corruption.

Yener recorded messages encouraging others to follow his lead and planned to carry out the bombing before Thanksgiving.

He was charged with attempting to use explosives to damage a commercial building.

    Undercover FBI agents later made contact with Yener and convinced him they wanted to help him carry out an attack, it says. They tracked Yener throughout the summer and into the fall.

    How the fuck this isn’t entrapment has confused everyone for decades. A convincing argument can be made that the current US right-wing terrorist problem only exists because 75% of those chucklefucks are informants interested in entrapment so it doesn’t surprise me they’ve expanded outside the white power movement.
