SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 17 – Roderick McBain has been detained, accused of setting fire to the Greek Consulate in New York City. 

  On January 17, McBain was detained in theU.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrates Court, which Inner City Press covers closely. 

 The complaint, presented before Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker, has numerous photos of McBain on his way from his Brooklyn apartment to the Greek consulate, and of the fire.

   His bond hearing was continued to January 19. Inner City Press attended. Judge Parker said he could be released on $10,000 bond and mental health care as specified by Pre-Trial Services. The AUSA said he had made other threats, named other targets, to law enforcement upon his arrest. But they were not named - or notified?

The case is US v. McBain, 24-mj-0169 (Parker)
