Aaron Greene,
31, appeared briefly in a New York courtroom on Friday, and was
informed of the indictment by a judge. He was returned to jail without
bail.
Formal charges against Greene were set to be announced
at a January 29 court appearance, when he is expected to enter a plea,
prosecutors said.
Greene's girlfriend, Morgan Gliedman,
who was nine months pregnant when she was arrested, gave birth over the
weekend to a baby girl and remained hospitalized in police custody, a law enforcement source said.
The grand jury also indicted Gliedman, according to a law enforcement source. It was unclear when she would be formally arraigned.
Police received a
tip about the weapons and potential explosives from someone who had been
in the couple's apartment, a police official said. Gliedman was wanted
on suspicion of credit card theft, the official said.
Authorities,
executing a search warrant of the couple's apartment, found bomb-making
instructions, including a manual called "The Terrorist Encyclopedia",
high-capacity rifle magazines, a flare launcher, two shotguns, and a
plastic bottle containing seven grams of hexamethylene triperoxide
diamine, or HMTD, court documents said.
The discovery of
the HMTD, commonly used in homemade bombs, prompted an evacuation of
nearby buildings, a law enforcement source said.
Interest in the case has been driven by the couple's privileged background. Gliedman's father, Paul Gliedman, is director of radiation oncology at Beth Israel Hospital in Brooklyn, according to a second law enforcement source.
Gliedman studied creative writing at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago, according to her Facebook page.
Greene's lawyer
declined to comment on Friday, as did Greene's parents, who were in
court for their son's appearance.
