"According to Panasenko's Facebook page, he lived in Jersey City but is originally from Kiev, Ukraine."
"More than a week before three people were killed and more than 260
people were injured in the Boston Marathon bombings, a Jersey City man
carried two homemade explosives on an NJ Transit train, authorities say.
Police also found explosive devices in the Newport Parkway home of
Mykyta Panasenko, 27, Jersey City police said today. According to a
criminal complaint, Panasenko is charged with having "two destructive
devices, specifically improvised explosive devices (IEDs) constructed
from a cylinder containing Pyrodex (black powder)" on April 5, the
criminal complaint says.
He is also charged with recklessly creating widespread risk of injury
or damage to a building which normally contains 25 or more persons by
constructing the explosive devices, according to the charges filed by
the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Port Authority Police
Department.
The FBI did not return calls for more details and no one answered the door at Panasenko's home this afternoon.
Although the arrest was made more than a week ago, it was not
reported by authorities. The Jersey Journal learned about the incidents
when Panasenko appeared in Central Judicial Processing court to hear the
charges Wednesday.
Authorities also charged Panasenko with having two improvised
explosive devises at 4 p.m. on April 7 aboard an NJ Transit train
leaving Hoboken and bound for Suffern, N.Y., the complaint says.
Earlier this month the Jersey City Police Department's Bomb Squad
responded to the home of Panasenko after getting information from the
New York Police Department and the FBI, Jersey City Police Deputy Chief
Peter Nalbach said this afternoon.
Inside the residence police found "materials that may have been used
to make an explosive device," Nalbach said, adding that the information
came from a tip provided by someone who knows Panasenko.
The complaint charging Panasenko with having explosive devices at his
home was signed on April 15, the day of the Boston Marathon bombings,
and the complaint charging him with having explosive devices on the
train was signed on April 16." via Lucianne
