New York City was on the brink of catastrophe—until quick action from law enforcement, led by FBI Director Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, stopped the unthinkable.

According to a federal indictment, 55-year-old Michael Gann had already begun planting deadly improvised explosive devices (IEDs) across NYC. One device was allegedly thrown onto the Williamsburg Bridge subway tracks. More bombs were found stashed on SoHo rooftops alongside shotgun shells—ready to unleash chaos.

Authorities intercepted Gann on June 5, finding an active IED on his person. He had reportedly posted a cryptic final Instagram message: “Who wants me to go out to play like no tomorrow?”

Thanks to Kash Patel’s aggressive anti-terror task force and partnerships with the NYPD, no one was harmed. Bongino, now involved in security strategy coordination, credited their rapid intel-sharing: “We shut this down before a single innocent person got hurt.”

Gann is facing three felony charges, including attempted destruction of property with explosives and unlawful possession of destructive devices. If convicted, he could serve over 40 years behind bars.

This latest operation follows Patel’s wave of arrests, including rogue FBI agents and corrupt COVID-relief fraudsters. It’s clear: the new FBI isn’t playing around.
