New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will give details on Sunday about the arrest of a man believed to be planning to build and detonate a bomb, the
New York Times and CNN reported.
The case was "terror related" but there was no imminent threat because the suspect was under arrest, a law enforcement official said, declining to be identified before the official announcement at 7:30 p.m. (0030 GMT on Monday).

The bomb would have worked if the suspect succeeded in assembling it properly, CNN said, citing unnamed sources.
