The FBI has made another arrest in relation to the radical anti-natalist terror attack in Palm Springs, California, last month.

More from KIRO 7 in Washington:

Daniel Park, 32, was taken into custody on Tuesday night at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport after being deported from Poland, where he traveled four days after the bombing, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli told reporters.

Federal authorities allege Park collaborated with Edward Bartkus for months before Bartkus bombed the clinic last month and was killed in the blast.

Park shipped at least 270 pounds of a chemical compound used as an explosive precursor to Bartkus and traveled earlier this year to Bartkus' home in Twentynine Palms, California, where the two conducted experiments in bomb-making in his room and a garage, FBI's assistant director in charge Akil Davis said.

In Park's home in Kent, a Seattle suburb, police say they found "an explosive recipe that was similar to the Oklahoma City bombing."

There was no word on how Park acquired the large amount of ammonium nitrate, which is a crop fertilizer that is heavily regulated and monitored (because it goes boom).

Me, to the government that's supposedly keeping crazy people from buying explosives but won't let me buy a suppressor without a $200 tax stamp:
