Federal authorities arrested a man who plotted to blow up the Federal Reserve building in New York City

Just blocks from the World Trade Center site, authorities say 21-year-old Quazi Nafis was arrested Wednesday morning after a sting operation that involved the FBI and New York Police Department. The suspect parked a van filled with what he believed were explosives outside the building and tried to detonate it.
But his associates were actually undercover officers who arrested him at the scene — and the bomb was not real.
