According to statements made by three law enforcement officials on Wednesday, a believe in connection with past month’s car bombing at a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, has been apprehended. Daniel Park, 32, of Kent, Washington, was detained at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport on Tuesday night. Guy Edward Bartkus, who was killed in the blast, was recently identified by the FBI. Earlier to Bartkus ‘ fatal attack of the office, where he died in the explosion, Park allegedly worked with him for a number of times before. FBI Assistant Director Akil Davis claimed Park visited his Twentynine Palms, California house earlier this year and delivered roughly 270 lbs of violent precursor compounds to Bartkus. In Bartkus ‘ chamber and door, they conducted bomb-making tests during this visit. Authorities located” an explosive formula that was similar to the Oklahoma City bombing” at Park’s Kent, near Seattle, according to Davis ‘ report. According to authorities, Park organized the transportation of 180 pounds of nitrogen nitrates to Bartkus and made arrangements for the transportation of an additional 90 pounds. The sourcing procedures have not been made public by the government. According to Davis, Park and Bartkus first became acquainted via online anti-natalist boards, forming a relationship based on their” shared belief that people don’t exist.” According to the FBI, he purposefully targeted the doctor in what has been deemed a criminal act. According to investigators, Bartkus attempted to broadcast the blast but was unsuccessful. The American Reproductive Centers service was destroyed by the strong explosion, which also damaged nearby structures. Witnesses described witnessing a huge explosion followed by images of conflict and ambiguity. A body was discovered by law enforcement officers close to a burned-out car outside the office, after identified as Bartkus. Authorities are still looking into Bartkus ‘ motivations, including why he chose this particular site and whether or not he died intentionally as a result of the attack. The targeted clinic provides a variety of fertility services, including in-vitro fertilization ( IVF ) and reproductive health assessments. The nature of the bombs used in searches conducted at Bartkus’s residence in Twentynine Palms, a desert city with a well-known Marine Corps foundation, has not yet been determined. Authorities have kept secrets as to what kind of bombs and how they were bought. The extent of the damage suggested the use of high-grade materials, perhaps dynamite or TNT, as opposed to more available substances like gunpowder, according to a top FBI official who described the incident as possible the “largest bombing scene that we’ve had in Southern California.” Once you understand the science involved, it’s relatively simple to find things, Sweetow said. The fire design, which spans the street, building, and park area, may have been a intentional design or an unexpected consequence, he added. Apparently, car fragments were hurled through the structure before finally settling near a garbage dump.
