'They Don't Believe People Should Exist,' FBI Says of Palm Springs Bomb Suspects
'They Don't Believe People Should Exist,' FBI Says of Palm Springs Bomb Suspects originally appeared on L.A. Mag. A second man who helped a domestic terrorist plan what officials call a "suicide car bombing" outside a Palm Springs fertility clinic last month was hunted down in Warsaw, Poland, federal officials announced Wednesday. Daniel Park, 32, of Kent, Washington left the country four days after his alleged co-conspirator, Guy Edward Bartkus, died in the blast outside American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic on May 17, officials say. Both men shared nihilistic and anti-life ideologies and practiced building the bomb in Bartkus's Twentynine Palms garage in late January and early February, federal officials said at a press conference Wednesday morning. "They do not believe people should exist," FBI Assistant Director for Los Angeles Akil Davis told reporters Wednesday morning. Davis said that Park, like Bartkus, posted nihilistic ideologies on Internet forums dating back to 2016. Park, investigators learned after last month's blast - which left a 250-yard debris field in the bustling Palm Springs block - secured 270 pounds of ammonium nitrate for their planned sent a total of six shipments of bomb making materials from Seattle to Twentynine Palms, officials said, before and after he spent two weeks in Southern California at Bartkus's home in Twentynine Palms. The duo practiced building the car bomb based on the ammonium nitrate–fuel oil bomb recipe that was used in the 1995 homegrown terror attack in Oklahoma City, the FBI says. Officials in Poland captured Park on May 30, said United States Attorney Bilal Essayli, and he was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport by U.S. federal officials Tuesday night. He is expected to appear in a Brooklyn federal courtroom Wednesday before his removal to California to face federal charges. Davis said the FBI did not have either man on their radar until after the Palm Springs attack and were taken aback that the duo could put "such a destructive device" together without raising any red flags. That raises "fear of the unknown" for homeland security officials, he said. That fear, says the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, is well-founded. "Those who seek to carry out nihilistic violence often do not fit neatly into the ideologically-based classifications that have been adopted by counterterrorism agencies, creating the potential for them to 'slip through the cracks,"' the think tank wrote in a report released last month, which also noted that those "engaged with subcultures of nihilistic violence may also interact with ideologically-motivated communities online including neo-Nazis." The Palm Springs bomb gutted the facility and shattered the windows of nearby buildings along a palm tree-lined street. The suspect was recovered in a burnt-out 2010 Ford Fusion outside the bombing scene, authorities say, but all of the embryos inside were saved by law enforcement officials. Bartkus attempted to livestream the explosion and left behind writings that suggested he believed people should not procreate, the FBI says. The case is being charged as an act of terrorism. A study released last year by West Point raises alarms about nihilism on the rise in the U.S. This story was originally reported by L.A. Mag on Jun 4, 2025, where it first appeared.

Man sent chemicals to suspect in California fertility clinic bombing: FBI
The FBI have arrested a man at New York's John F Kennedy airport on Tuesday night in connection with last month's car bombing outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California. Authorities said Daniel Park, 32, from Kent, Washington, sent 180 pounds of ammonium nitrate - an ingredient used in homemade bombs - to Guy Edward Bartkus. Mr Park was scheduled to appear in Brooklyn Federal Court on Wednesday, after which it is expected he will be sent to Los Angeles. Authorities say Bartkus detonated an explosion on 17 May outside the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic. Four people were injured and Bartkus, 25, was killed in the blast. Bartkus left behind writings that suggest he disapproved of people being brought into the world against their will and advocated for the end of childbirth and the eventual extinction of humans. The FBI has called the blast an "intentional act of terrorism" and said the fertility clinic was deliberately targeted. Bartkus was a resident of Twentynine Palms, a small city about 150 miles (240km) east of Los Angeles. Authorities said Bartkus loaded his 2010 silver Ford Fusion sedan with explosives before driving an hour from Twentynine Palms to Palm Springs. The blast was felt more than a mile away. At a news conference on Wednesday, US Attorney Bill Essayli said Mr Park and Bartkus spent time together conducting experiments in Bartkus' garage. Several days after the explosion, Mr Park travelled to Denmark and then onto Poland, but was detained by Polish authorities and sent back to the US, where he was arrested. Akil Davis, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles field office, said that Mr Park "was in possession of an explosive recipe that was similar to the Oklahoma City bombing." Investigators say the pair discussed plans online and were part of a movement sometimes called anti-natalism, also known as efilism. Mr Davis referred to the site of the fertility clinic as "the largest bombing scene" the FBI had seen in southern California in recent memory. Several buildings were damaged in the blast, including the fertility clinic with images showing a portion of its wall destroyed. According to its website, the ARC clinic is the first full-service fertility centre and IVF lab in the Coachella Valley. It offers services including fertility evaluations, IVF, egg donation and freezing, reproductive support for same-sex couples and surrogacy.
