The FBI arrested and charged a 30-year-old Florida-based homeless man for allegedly plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange before Thanksgiving.
Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, of Coral Gables, Fla., was recorded telling an undercover agent that he felt "like Bin Laden,” a reference to Osama bin Laden, the former al-Qaeda leader and the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, according to federal authorities.
The homeless suspect somehow gathered enough resources to arrive in New York from Florida to construct an explosive device to bomb the NYSE on Wall Street, according to an FBI affidavit filed on Nov. 20.
The FBI charged Yener of attempting to damage or destroy a building used in interstate commerce by means of an explosive.
Federal law enforcement began investigating Yener in February, after receiving a tip from an informant that he was keeping bomb-making supplies inside an unlocked storage unit and that he expressed interest in joining anti-government militia, according to court documents.
Yener had been researching online how to make a bomb since 2017, according to investigators. He allegedly conducted multiple online searches and shared at least ten videos detailing how to construct explosives and fireworks from household items, along with other videos demonstrating how to make triggers associated with traps and explosives.
While executing a search warrant, Federal agents discovered bomb-making sketches, numerous watches with timers, electronic circuit boards, and other electronics belonging to the suspect in their search of the storage facility.
Yaner met with at least three undercover Feds who had access to commercial-grade explosives and asked for help to build a device powerful enough to blow off the doors, so that "anything existing in there will be killed." He asked the agents for photos and materials to help him target the right locations at the stock exchange, which he viewed as

Probably uses a dumpster as his lab.
One of the Bidenskyyyy/Harriz regime’s “better lifers”.
I’m sure there isn’t so much as a smidgen of entrapment here.
Homeless is NOW back in fashion now that the rats are out.

I’m just amazed they’re entrapping a mooselimb bomber! Catholic grandmothers seem to be their go-to targets. Trump Effect at work maybe?
BTTT
Get arrested. A cure for the homeless.
I am sure the guy is a POS. That said, sounds like the Portland Christmas tree bomb plot. Guy could not have pulled off a Goodwill donation box heist without being led by the hand by the FBI. I am pretty sure this is the same.
If that were the standard, why is Madonna not in prison. She publicly stated she wanted to blow up the White-house.
Imagine what the FBI could do if they actually went after criminals instead of the effort the exert trying to entrap idiots so they can publish this kind of story as a PR tool.
He wasn’t entrapped. He was already gathering materials for making bombs before the FBI even knew about him. In other words, the intent was there, the effort to study and build timed bombs was there, and he had already acquired some of the needed materials before the government made a move.
Entrapment is when you haven’t taken any initiative towards doing people harm and some government agent tries to incite you to take action.
Okay, Mom. Sure.
Never trust the feds on these stories. Either there is some connection he had that goes much deeper than what they are saying or they were encouraging him all along.
No, not a *homeless man* any more than a *Florida man*.
A muslim.
Is he homeless because he blew up his home?
That's a long way to push a shopping cart.
