Federal prosecutors on Tuesday charged a New York man with allegedly creating and hiding multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDs) across New York City, in a plot that was foiled by law enforcement.
The Justice Department claimed the suspect, Michael Gann, constructed and hid at least seven devices around the city, including at least five that were stored on the rooftops of residential buildings and one that was thrown onto subway tracks.
The department claimed Gann ordered precursor chemicals, which cause an explosion when combined, online in May, which he received in June.
The supplies included approximately two pounds of potassium perchlorate, approximately one pound of aluminum powder, over 200 cardboard tubes and over 50-feet worth of fuses.
