Columbia Univ Infectious Disease Professor Making Bombs
We told you about this bust yesterday, but disturbing details are emerging.
It appears that the man arrested, Ivan Ivanov, is not the owner of the small apartment, but a professor at Columbia University who specializes in infectious disease.
Cops evacuated the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood around the apartment of Michael Clatts, a medical anthropologist at Columbia University, after finding seven pipe bombs fitted with fuses in his apartment.
A shotgun and rifle are among weapons removed Sunday by cops from home of Columbia Prof. Michael Clatts and Ivaylo Ivanov at 58 Remsen St. in Brooklyn Heights.
Police were looking to question Clatts, 50, the Columbia University instructor.
Alan Brasunas, a co-op board member at the 58 Remsen St. brownstone, confirmed Clatts owned the apartment and lived there with Ivanov.
“One has to assume Michael must have seen something at one point,” Brasunas said. “It’s not a huge apartment.”
He said he interviewed Clatts before he was allowed to buy the fourth-floor unit.
“We obviously have concerns about both people,” said Brasunas, who called the professor a “quiet, reserved person.”
