A man wanted in Australia for allegedly strapping a fake bomb to the neck of a teenage girl has been arrested by an FBI SWAT team in the US state of Kentucky.

Paul “Doug” Peters, an Australian who police in New South Wales were seeking to apprehend in connection with last month’s bomb hoax, was taken into custody on Monday, the FBI said.

Peters had been staying at the home of his former wife outside La Grange, Kentucky, about 25 miles (40 kms) northeast of Louisville, the FBI said.
