A man was arrested at New York’s JFK Airport overnight in connection to last month’s IVF clinic bombing in Palm Springs, California, sources told NBC Los Angeles.
Investigators have been looking into the unidentified person to see if he helped provide material for the disastrous car bomb that destroyed the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic on May 17.
The primary suspect and man accused of setting off the bomb, Guy Edward Bartkus, 25, was killed in the explosion after a silver Ford Fusion sedan erupted.
At least five others were injured in the incident, which authorities called an ‘intentional act of terrorism.’
The arrested suspect is connected to a federal arrest warrant out of California. Three people close to the case told the outlet he is from Washington State.
Charges against the suspect are expected to be announced in California before his removal proceeding in federal court in Downtown Brooklyn.
