Daniel Park, 32, had been facing conspiracy charges for allegedly shipping explosive materials to Guy Edward Bartkus, who detonated a car bomb at the American Reproductive Centers clinic in the SoCal desert oasis.

Park had been arrested in Poland, where he had traveled shortly after the attack, and was swiftly turned over to U.S. authorities.
Authorities accused Park of supplying Bartkus with 180 pounds of ammonium nitrate, which Bartkus apparently used to fashion an explosive device in his home bomb lab in the town of Twentynine Palms, less than an hour’s drive from Palm Springs.
