The man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive has been charged with murder as an act of terrorism, prosecutors said on Tuesday as they worked to bring him to a New York court from from a Pennsylvania jail.

Luigi Mangione already was charged with murder in the December 4 killing of Brian Thompson, but the indictment could help move along procedural steps toward extraditing the suspect.
