A former US Army soldier has been charged with arson in connection to a shocking fire that engulfed a Manhattan federal building earlier this week. The attack, which caused significant damage to the building's exterior and forced the evacuation of nearby offices, has sent shockwaves through the city's law enforcement community. According to authorities, the suspect, a 37-year-old ex-Army veteran, was taken into custody after a lengthy investigation involving multiple agencies. As the FBI and NYPD continue to probe the motives behind the attack, officials are working to determine whether the suspect had ties to any extremist groups.
