VOA Persian is generally considered a reliable source for news.

On Wednesday, U.S. security forces arrested a man from Florida on charges of conspiring to bomb the New York Stock Exchange building. The accused, identified as 'Aaron Abdulmalik Yiner', attempted to plant a bomb outside the stock exchange in Manhattan, New York. Federal officials in the U.S. state that he is a homeless individual who told an undercover FBI agent, 'I feel like (Osama) bin Laden.' Bin Laden was the leader of the terrorist organization 'Al-Qaeda' that orchestrated and executed the deadly terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, in the U.S. In addition to speaking about bin Laden, he also mentioned attempts to join far-right groups and believed that a 'revolution' was needed in the country. Yiner's motives are still not precisely determined, and investigations are ongoing. The FBI began its investigation into him last February after receiving information about his possession of plans and bomb-making materials in a storage unit. 'Invalid' bomb threats on Election Day in the U.S. have Russian origins, revealing a failed plot to assassinate Trump by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, with two European citizens charged with conspiracy against a former president and some members of the U.S. Congress.
