A New York man was arrested and charged after building at least seven bombs and stashing them on rooftops and subway tracks.
Michael Gann, 55, was taken into custody last month and on Tuesday was charged by prosecutors in the Southern District of New York.
According to prosecutors, Michael Gann “manufactured at least seven improvised explosive devices (“IEDs”) using precursor chemicals—chemicals that can be combined to create an explosive mixture—that he had ordered on the internet, stored at least five IEDs and shotgun shells on adjoining rooftops of residential apartment buildings in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan, threw at least one IED onto the subway tracks of the Williamsburg Bridge, and subsequently lied to law enforcement about having disposed of his explosives and supplies in a dumpster.”
