Police arrest suspect in attempted bombing at Satanic Temple

Published



The man suspected of throwing a pipe bomb that failed to detonate but scorched the side of a Satanic Temple in Salem, Massachusetts, has been arrested.

Sean Palmer, 49, of Oklahoma, appeared in the Western District of Oklahoma court on Thursday, where he was charged with using fire or an explosive to cause damage to a building used in interstate or foreign commerce. He will later appear before a federal court in Boston, which is nearer to the crime scene.
