Daniel Park, 32, was arrested at a New York City airport on a federal warrant out of California, three people familiar with the matter told NBC News.

Daniel Jongyon Park, 32, from Kent, was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City overnight in connection with the May 17 car bombing outside the American Reproductive Centers clinic in Palm Springs

Prosecutors allege that Park supplied 270 pounds of ammonium nitrate, an explosive precursor commonly used to construct homemade bombs, to Guy Edward Bartkus, the primary suspect in the bombing. Bartkus, 25, and four others were injured in the May 17 bombing.

Four days after the bombing, prosecutors say Park fled the United States for Europe.

Park flew to Warsaw, Poland, via Denmark on May 21, where he was detained on May 30 by Polish authorities. He was deported back to the U.S. and arrested by the FBI and Port Authority police at JFK Airport.

    Three days before Park arrived at Bartkus’s house, records from an AI chat application show that Bartkus researched how to make powerful explosions using ammonium nitrate

    They got Park’s e-mail and reddit account and the bomber’s public ChatGPT.

    Absolute amateur hour. Secure e-mail. Don’t post publically about doing a bombing. If you’re going to make the mistake of an LLM about the chemistry of bomb-making at the very least run a local model on an encrypted drive.
