FBI, NYPD Arrest 4 in Alleged Plot to Bomb NY Synagogues
NBC New York ^ | May 20, 2009 | Jonathan Dienst

Posted on 05/20/2009 6:55:16 PM PDT by Sergeant Tim

EXCLUSIVE: Four New York City men were arrested Wednesday in connection with an alleged plot to blow up New York City synagogues and other city locations, WNBC's Jonathan Dienst has learned.

Raids by the FBI-NYPD Joint Terrorist Task Force in the Bronx captured the suspected ringleader and three followers in what law enforcement sources are calling a homegrown terrorist plot.

Investigators stress the suspects' meetings had been infiltrated early on and there was "no chance" the alleged plot could succeed.

Investigators said several of the suspects are Muslims who allegedly talked about destroying two Jewish temples, including at least one in the Riverdale section of the Bronx.

The men ordered and accepted delivery of materials they believed were bomb-making ingredients, authorities said. But investigators said they made sure the materials the suspects received were inert. Officials tell WNBC they moved in now so the alleged plot could not progress any further.

The four men are in custody and are expected to be arraigned Thursday in White Plains federal court on terrorism-related counts.

"Several" of the four? Translation: all.

Yeah and Curtis Sliwa (who should friggin’ know better), had on some ABC/reporter clown, and both of them are giving out TOO MUCH INFORMATION Biden style.

Have they ever heard of misinformation or holding back details... (shakes head).

We’ve only been telling Homeland about Newburgh for five years. Watch they don’t close the terror mosque down... just like al Farooq in Brooklyn and 4 others in NY and NJ we know preach jihad.

I’m sure Peter King told him on the DL to cool it...

As long as he’s been on the streets, Curtis should know better. He asked ridiculous questions that shouldn’t be asked or answered, and the rube reporter was spouted... and Curtis kept on asking more. If I were down with that group, I would know everything the feds had now. (and use it for slander or some BS if disproven and they cut the guys loose).

Sono, better get your counter-protest gear ready for the trial... This isn’t Britain.

Muslims? Everybody knows that muslims are pacifists of the first order. /sarcasm tag for those who didn’t get it.

The suspects also allegedly attempted to procure stinger missiles to shoot down military aircraft near West Point.

Stupid Muslims, but maybe that's redundant. Anyone offering to sell you a Stinger most likely works for the BATFE, or FBI. Ditto machine guns, or things like Claymore mines, grenades, etc

And what does their anger at Afghanistan have to do with a Jewish synagogue in Riverdale?

US Black Muslims hate Jews. Just ask Farrakhan and Rev Wright.
