A man was arrested at New York’s JFK Airport overnight in connection to last month’s IVF clinic bombing some 2,6000 miles away from Palm Springs, California.
Daniel Park, 32, was taken into custody about a month after the disastrous bombing as investigators were looking to see if he helped provide materials that destroyed the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic on May 17, ABC 7 reported.
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.’
Charges against the suspect are expected to be announced in California before his removal proceeding in federal court in Downtown Brooklyn.
The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office and an FBI official are expected to announced developments in the case at a press conference at 9am local time Wednesday.

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, per NBC Los Angeles.
In his writings, Bartkus allegedly said he was ‘pro-mortalist’, something he described as someone who intends to bring on their own death as soon as possible ‘to prevent your future suffering, and, more importantly, the suffering your existence will cause to all the other sentient beings.’
He also recorded a 30-minute-long audio clip explaining why he ‘decided to bomb an IVF building, or clinic.’
‘I figured I would just make a recording explaining why I’ve decided to bomb an IVF building, or clinic. Basically, it just comes down to I’m angry that I exist and that, you know, nobody got my consent to bring me here,’ he said.
Bartkus also said he was ‘angry’ that IVF clinics exist, adding: ‘These are people who are having kids after they’ve sat there and thought about it. How much more stupid can it get?’

He is suspected of setting off a large vehicle-borne improvised explosive device outside of the clinic, which performs IVF treatments, egg collections and other procedures, according to his website.
Multiple witnesses reported hearing a loud boom, and dramatic videos shared on social media show the explosion shattered the windows of a nearby liquor store
Authorities found an AK-47 and an AR-Style rifle, as well as ammunition next to the burnt vehicle, the LA Times reported.
He allegedly tried to film the terror attack by setting up a tripod with a camera beforehand, but the filed failed to upload to his website, according to BNO News.
On the day of the attack, FBI officials raided his home and evacuated the neighborhood over fears it was a ‘blast zone.’
Akil Davis, the assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, said the agency was running the investigation, but did not specify if the raid was connected to the fatal explosion.
Following the powerful explosion, Davis confirmed it was a terror attack.
‘Make no mistake: This is an intentional act of terrorism,’ Davis said during an evening news conference.
