FBI arrests alleged accomplice in Palm Springs fertility clinic bombing — and he shares suspected terrorist's hatred



Guy Edward Bartkus, the 25-year-old suspected terrorist killed in the May 17 bombing of a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, allegedly left behind a nihilistic manifesto acknowledged by the FBI that equated human life to a disease gripping the planet, condemned religion, championed Satan over God, and called for a "war against pro-lifers."

"Basically, I'm anti-life," Bartkus allegedly said in a 30-minute audio recording explaining why he apparently decided to bomb a fertility clinic. "And IVF is like kind of the epitome of pro-life ideology."

The suspect appears to have been neither alone in his hatred for life nor alone in his plot to bomb the American Reproductive Centers in Palm Springs.

The FBI arrested Daniel Jongyon Park on Tuesday night at the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York in connection with the bombing.

Park, a 32-year-old from Washington state, fled the country two days after the bombing. He was arrested by Polish authorities on May 30, despite an alleged attempt to "harm himself." Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly helped ensure that he was deported to the United States on June 2, where he was charged with providing and attempting to provide material support to terrorists.

"This defendant is charged with facilitating the horrific attack on a fertility center in California," Bondi said in a statement. "Bringing chaos and violence to a facility that exists to help women and mothers is a particularly cruel, disgusting crime that strikes at the very heart of our shared humanity."

Bondi expressed gratitude to America's "partners in Poland who helped get this man back to America."

According to the Department of Justice, Park allegedly provided the suspected terrorist with the explosive precursor materials ultimately used in the attack, approximately 270 pounds of ammonium nitrate — 90 pounds of which he allegedly shipped just days before the Palm Springs bombing, which destroyed the clinic, damaged surrounding buildings, injured numerous people, and flung the bomber's remains as far as the rooftop of a hotel a block away.

The suspect, who the FBI indicated filmed the attack and the events leading up to it, appears to have assembled the bomb at his home in Twentynine Palms, where federal agents reportedly found massive quantities of explosive materials, including pentaerythritol tetranitrate — a chemical compound used in commercial detonators.

'Would you press the button to end their suffering and speed up the process of extinction of life on Earth?'

After allegedly sending Bartkus the first shipment, Park — who allegedly made six separate online purchases totaling 275 pounds of ammonium nitrate between October 2022 and May 2025 — stayed at the suspected terrorist's house from Jan. 25 to Feb 8., during which time he told people his name was "Steve."

Citing records from an AI chat application, the DOJ indicated that Bartkus researched how to make powerful explosions using ammonium nitrate and fuel three days before Park came to visit him.

The criminal complaint against Park indicates that federal agents discovered "explosive precursor chemicals and multiple recipes for explosives, including recipes for explosive mixtures containing ammonium nitrate and fuel" at his house. One of the recipes apparently corresponded with the explosive mixture used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.

Bartkus' family members allegedly told investigators that he and Park were "running experiments" in the suspected bomber's detached garage, where FBI agents later discovered chemical precursors and laboratory equipment as well as packages listing Park's home address.

The duo apparently bonded over their anti-natalism and their "pro-mortalism" — the belief that non-existence is always preferable to life.

'Those who aid terrorists can expect to feel the cold wrath of justice.'

The criminal complaint indicates that Park made numerous social media posts expressing such views, allegedly writing, for instance, in 2016 in response to the question, "What have you actually done to not have children?" that "a better question is what did you do to make other people not have children."

In April 2025, Park allegedly wrote "yes" in response to the question, "If you had the technology to wipe out a tribe of people on an isolated island and no one would know about it after the tribe's life was gone, would you press the button to end their suffering and speed up the process of extinction of life on Earth?"

U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli for the Central District of California said of Park's arrest, "Domestic terrorism is evil and unacceptable. Those who aid terrorists can expect to feel the cold wrath of justice."

Park could face up to 15 years in federal prison if convicted.

'Unabomber' Ted Kaczynski, 81, found dead in prison cell



Theodore "Ted" Kaczynski, dubbed the "Unabomber" by the FBI, died Saturday at age 81, multiple outlets reported.

Kaczynski was found unresponsive in his cell at the federal prison medical center in Butner, North Carolina early in the morning, Kristie Breshears, a spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons told the Associated Press. The cause of death was not immediately known.

Kaczynski killed three Americans and injured 23 more during a 17-year spree of increasingly sophisticated bombings that began in 1978.

The FBI described Kaczynski as a "twisted genius who aspire[d] to be the perfect, anonymous killer. ... the ultimate lone wolf bomber."

He mailed or hand delivered his homemade bombs and threatened to blow up airliners. His first known attack was at a Chicago university. The "Unabomber" name was derived from the words "university" and "airline bombing."

More than 150 full-time investigators, analysts, and others were assigned to a task force to nab the elusive domestic terrorist.

In 1995, authorities caught their big break. Kaczynski sent a 35,000 word manifesto to the FBI describing his motives. The task force recommended taking the manifesto public. FBI Director Louis Freeh and Attorney General Janet Reno gave the go ahead, and the manifesto was published in the Washington Post.

That publication in the Post ultimately netted the lead they needed from David Kaczynski, the Unabomber's brother.

David Kaczynski provided letters and documents written by his brother, and a linguistic analysis determined it those documents and the Unabomber's manifesto were likely written by the same person.

Investigators at last arrested Kaczysnki at a ramshackle, 10' x 14' cabin near Lincoln, Montana (see photo below provided by the FBI). Inside the cabin, they found bomb-making materials, 40,000 journal pages, and one live bomb prepped for mailing.

After pleading guilty in 1998, Theodore "Ted" Kaczynski spent most of the rest of his life in a Supermax prison in Colorado.

He was moved to the medical facility in North Carolina in December 2021, ABC News reported.

Authorities were warned a year ago that Nashville suspect was 'building bombs in the RV': report



The Nashville Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI were warned a year ago that Anthony Warner, the man suspected of carrying out the Christmas Day bombing in Nashville, Tennessee, had been "building bombs in the RV" he kept at his home, according to a report.

What are the details?

According to The Tennessean, an NMPD report from August 2019 said that Warner's girlfriend told officers that he "was building bombs in the RV trailer at his residence," and the department passed that information along to the FBI.

Police were first tipped off by attorney Raymond Throckmorton III, who reportedly represented both Warner and the girlfriend and became concerned over comments the girlfriend made. Throckmorton told officers at the time that Warner "frequently talks about the military and bomb making," and that Warner "knows what he is doing and is capable of making a bomb."

Officers first went to the girlfriend's home to question her, before heading to Warner's residence where he did not answer the door.

The Tennessean reported:

Officers saw his RV behind the house, but the vehicle was fenced off and police were unable to see inside of it, the report said. While there, police noted that there were "several security cameras and wires attached to a alarm sign on the front door." The officers notified supervisors and detectives about the incident.

"They saw no evidence of a crime and had no authority to enter his home or fenced property," [MNPD spokesman Don] Aaron said of officers' unsuccessful attempt to make contact with Warner or look inside the RV.

The day after Friday's bombing, the FBI, ATF, and MNPD raided Warner's home.

No motive has yet been determined for the bombing that left the 63-year-old Warner dead, three bystanders injured, and dozens of buildings in downtown Nashville badly damaged.

Anything else?

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David Rausch said, "It does appear that the intent was more destruction than death," noting "that's all speculation at this point as we continue in our investigation with all of our partners."

U.S. News & World Report reported that Rausch said of Warner during a news conference, "He was not on our radar. We are all taking pieces of the puzzle, working to determine what the motivation was for this individual."

The outlet noted:

Nashville Mayor John Cooper has said that local officials felt there had to be some connection between the bombing, which occurred near an AT&T Inc transmission building on the city's bustling Second Avenue, and the company. At the briefing on Monday, Rausch said Warner's father had worked for AT&T but that it was unclear if that was in any way connected.
