Man Arrested in Bell County May Have Been Planning a Bombing of New York City

Officials say a man arrested in Bell County last month after behaving suspiciously in a
church may have been planning a bombing.

WYMT reports Maurya Bharwad was seen surveying the church and looking nervous within days of being turned down for a purchase from a firearms retailer in Barbourville.

He was arrested in Bell County and taken to the Barbourville Police Department where officials claim his phone had searches on how to make a bomb and questions about tunnels under New York City.
