Penn State student arrested for constructing 'weapons of mass destructionAltoona Police Department
Vladislav Miftakhov was arrested and charged with possession of weapons of mass destruction when police found explosive devices in his apartment.
A Russian college student in Pennsylvania was charged with unlawful possession of 'weapons of mass destruction' and risking catastrophe on Friday, according to authorities.
Penn State Altoona student Vladislav Miftakhov, 18, was arrested Friday after Altoona police found homemade bombs and bomb-making materials in his room while investigating a possible marijuana growing operation, according to a criminal complaint.
Police also found marijuana plants but called backup when they discovered fuses attached to aluminum and plastic containers.
After officers removed Miftakhov from a class and attained a search warrant, investigators discovered one pound each of atomized magnesium and Chinese potassium perchlorate and a package labeled potassium nitrate powder — which are all “key components in the bomb making process,” the criminal complaint said.
