Police said Tuesday they have apprehended a Korean man on suspicion of posting a threat to bomb a U.S. airport last year.
The 20-something man allegedly posted the threat on the website of a Detroit airport on March 20 after getting angry with airport authorities during a visit there.
The post prompted local and federal police to launch a search for explosives. In January, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations requested the cooperation of the Korean police.
The suspect was caught after police here secured related evidence during a raid on his home earlier this month. He has been referred to the prosecution on charges of making public threats, police said.
