NEW YORK – New York police have arrested a man they called a “lone wolf” militant on charges of plotting to build bombs to kill American soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Jose Pimentel (27), who police say was a follower of late Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, was arraigned on Sunday night in state court on terrorism-related charges.
A US citizen born in the Dominican Republic, Mr Pimentel was arrested on Saturday in a Manhattan apartment while assembling a bomb, police said. – (Reuters)
