Man accused of making explosives threat in Oklahoma City
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A man who was spotted taking unusual photos of a memorial to Oklahoma City bombing victims and who warned his sister in Iran that hundreds more people would die has been arrested on a complaint of threatening to kill with explosives.
Amiremad Nayebyazdi, 32, was being held Tuesday in Oklahoma County jail without bail, according to records.
A court affidavit said police received a tip Thursday from a longtime friend of Nayebyazdi living in California that the suspect had left a phone message for his sister in Iran saying "hundreds are going to die in Oklahoma City."
In the message, Nayebyazdi said, "Don't tell mom and dad until after it is seen on the news," the affidavit said.
