New York man arrested, suspected of bomb plot
A resident of New York has been arrested on suspicion of planning to bomb targets including police cars and post offices.
Jose Pimentel, 27, was charged with terrorism-related offences, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told a news conference in the city.
Pimentel was a "lone wolf" who also allegedly planned to target US troops returning from abroad, Bloomberg said.
He was inspired by al-Qaeda, he said.
Bloomberg was speaking at a briefing along with New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and District Attorney Cyrus Vance, the chief prosecutor for Manhattan.
