The FBI announced on Wednesday the arrest of a Washington state man for allegedly supplying chemicals used in the bombing of a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, last month.
Daniel Park, 32, was apprehended at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York following his return from Poland, according to U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli.

Park, a resident of Kent, Washington, had also traveled to Southern California in late January to stay with Bartkus for a period of two weeks. • Officials have identified Bartku
