‘Lone wolf’ arrested in NY

NEW York police have arrested a 27-year-old man they called a “lone wolf” militant on charges of plotting to build bombs to kill American soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Jose Pimentel, a follower of late Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, was arraigned on Sunday on terrorism-related charges.

A US citizen born in the Dominican Republic, Pimentel was arrested on Saturday in a Manhattan apartment while assembling a bomb.
