The authorities have arrested a man who law enforcement officials believe was planning to build and detonate a bomb in New York with government workers as the target, a person briefed on the case said on Sunday.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly of the New York Police Department, and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. were expected to announce the charges against the man at 7:30 p.m. at a news conference at City Hall.
The man was arrested within the last 24 hours.
The defendant in the case whose identity could not be learned had bought bomb-making materials and began to build them, said the person briefed on the case, who added that the Police Department had had the man under surveillance for about a year.

the Police Department had had the man under surveillance for about a year.Couldn't have been a Muslim then, as the police were allowed to do something.

A British reporter just said the perp was Hispanic. Must be some kind of mistake, that would mean that La Raza has targeted New York for reconquista and reunification with Mexico.
He must be Puerto Rican Latino not Hispanic, and looking to reunite New York with her mother country of Puerto Rico.
Then again, there is no proof that La Raza can read maps.

“government workers”, that’s pretty generic, since we all work for the government.
