Overview

  • Daniel Jongyon Park, 32, of Kent, Washington, was arrested at JFK Airport on June 4 after arriving from Poland on a federal warrant for providing material support to terrorists.
  • Authorities allege Park shipped about 180 pounds of ammonium nitrate and financed another 90-pound shipment to Guy Edward Bartkus for use in the May 17 car bombing.
  • Federal affidavits reveal Park and Bartkus met in anti-natalist online forums and carried out bomb-making experiments in Bartkus’s Twentynine Palms garage earlier this year.
  • Guy Edward Bartkus died in the explosion that damaged the American Reproductive Centers clinic, injured four bystanders and shattered nearby buildings while stored embryos remained unharmed.
  • The FBI has classified the attack as an intentional act of domestic terrorism driven by anti-natalist ideology as investigators probe potential wider networks.
