A man from Kent was arrested Tuesday, accused of supplying chemicals used to make the explosives that destroyed a California fertility clinic on May 17.
The FBI arrested 32-year-old Daniel Park, of Kent, Tuesday night at an airport in New York upon his extradition from Poland. KOMO News knocked on the door of Park’s home and a woman answered, confirming that she knew Park but denying any additional comment.
The federal arrest warrant for Park stated that he was wanted for providing and attempting to provide material support to terrorists. Park is accused of shipping 180 pounds of ammonium nitrate to Guy Edward Bartkus, the man authorities state attacked the Palm Springs clinic.
Bartkus, who died in the bombing, is accused of detonating a bomb so large that it sent pieces of the vehicle he drove hundreds of feet into the air.
The explosion wounded four people and left a debris field that stretched about 250 yards.
Investigators said Bartkus’ attack was motivated by his “pro-mortalism, anti-natalism, and anti-pro-life ideology,” a set of beliefs centered on the idea that people should not be born without their consent and ultimately humans should not exist as a species.
