A man has been arrested in the US state of Kansas and accused of planning to detonate a suicide car bomb at an airport, authorities have said.
Terry Lee Loewen, 58, has been charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.
An aviation technician, Mr Loewen was not affiliated with any religious group, police in Wichita said.
Authorities say Mr Loewen was snared by undercover FBI investigators and the public was never in danger.
"There was no breach of Mid-Continent's Airport's security," said US Attorney Barry Grissom in a statement.
"At no time was the safety of travelers or members of the public placed in jeopardy."
