Indian Man Arrested for Threatening to Blow Up Miami Airport

The Uttar Pradesh ATS arrested an 18-year-old man for allegedly making several calls to the Miami Airport threatening to blow it up, according to reports.

Uttar Pradesh ATS IG Asim Arun said legal action is being initiated against the man, whose name has not been revealed.

Uttar Pradesh ATS said the accused had purchased Bitcoins worth $1,000 but was duped by someone after which he lodged a complaint with the American intelligence agency FBI but did not get the desired response. Frustrated with FBI’s behavior, he made several calls to the Miami airport and threatened to attack it.

The main said in his calls, “I will come with AK47, grenade, suicide belt and kill everyone.”

The senior cop said the FBI spoke to the man but he continued to make threat calls using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service from October 2 till October 31.

Arun said they traced the man based on his IP address and during interrogation, he confessed to his crime. He will now be charged in court.

The senior cop clarified that Section 41A of the CrPC or Code of Criminal Procedure does not require an arrest.
