Suspect held over deadly US fertility clinic bombing
US federal authorities have arrested a suspect in connection with last month's deadly bombing at a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, according to law enforcement officials.
The suspect, Daniel Park, a 32-year-old man from Washington state, was taken into custody at John F Kennedy International Airport in New York, the officials said.
He will make an initial appearance in Brooklyn federal court on Wednesday afternoon and eventually face charges in California.
Park had been detained in Poland and deported by Polish authorities.
US officials were not clear why he had travelled to Poland and said he was not in southern California on the day of the bombing.
Officials alleged that Park secured 270 pounds of a fertiliser for Guy Bartkus, the primary suspect in the bombing.
The officials charged Park with providing and attempting to provide material support to a terrorist.
Bartkus, 25, died in the blast.
A bomb detonated shortly before 11am local time on May 17 in or near a car parked outside the fertility clinic, operated by American Reproductive Center.
In addition to the death of the primary suspect, several other people were injured, according to authorities.
Bartkus had "nihilistic ideations," FBI officials said at the time, adding that they were investigating the attack as an act of terrorism.
On Wednesday law enforcement officials said that Park shared those views and had posted them on internet forums.
Wednesday's arrest was first reported by NBC News.

Chinese researchers charged with smuggling 'dangerous biological pathogen' into US
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here Two Chinese researchers have been charged with smuggling a biological pathogen that they planned to study at a US university lab last year. Yunqing Jian, 33, and Zunyong Liu, 34, were charged with conspiracy to commit offence or to defraud the US, smuggling goods into the country, false statements and visa fraud for bringing in the fungus Fusarium graminearum from China, according to the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan. "The Department of Justice has no higher mission than keeping the American people safe and protecting our nation from hostile foreign actors who would do us harm," Attorney General Pam Bondi said. Yunqing Jian, one of two Chinese researchers charged with smuggling a biological pathogen into the US. (Sanilac County Sheriff's Office via CNN) (CNN) Fusarium graminearum is described as "a potential agroterrorism weapon" that can cause disease in certain plants like wheat, corn, rice and barley, and is "responsible for billions of dollars in economic loss worldwide each year," an FBI affidavit in support of the complaint says. "The toxins produced by Fusarium graminearum cause vomiting, liver damage, and reproductive defects in livestock and humans," the complaint states. The 25-page criminal complaint does not allege that the defendants – who investigators say were in a relationship – had any plans to spread the fungus beyond the University of Michigan laboratory. But it says Liu was aware of the restrictions on the material and deliberately hid it in a wad of tissues in his backpack. Donell Harvin, former chief of homeland security for the District of Columbia, told CNN that a pathogen such as Fusarium is extremely dangerous. "It doesn't matter whether the person had good intentions," he said. "If there's some type of mistake, or mishap, or release, that could have catastrophic consequences." US Attorney General Pam Bondi. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) (AP) The charges come as the Trump administration is looking to revoke visas for Chinese students, especially those with alleged "connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields," US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said last week. FBI Director Kash Patel said in a post on X that the case is "a sobering reminder that the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) is working around the clock to deploy operatives and researchers to infiltrate American institutions and target our food supply, which would have grave consequences." The affidavit doesn't specify what Jian and Liu's intentions were in studying the fungus. Jian, who was arrested by the FBI, remains in custody. On Thursday, her detention hearing was adjourned until next week to allow time for a new defence lawyer to get up to speed. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said during a news conference on Wednesday that he wasn't familiar with the case, but said the government "always asks Chinese nationals overseas to strictly observe local laws and regulations, and protects their legitimate and lawful rights and interests in accordance with the law."
