Two Arrested in New York City Synagogue Attack Plot Sting (FBI refused to investigate)
ABC ^ | 5/12/11 | Richard Esposito

Posted on 05/12/2011 5:23:02 AM PDT by markomalley

Two men trying to buy weapons including AK 47s and hand grenades as part of a plot to attack Manhattan synagogues were arrested in New York City, averting a terror threat, law enforcement sources said.

This is the 13th plot thwarted against the city since the Sept. 11.

The men were arrested last night in Midtown Manhattan as part of a police operation that had begun prior to Osama bin Laden's death and was not a result of any retaliatory plan, sources said.

While the suspects talked about attacking synagogues in Manhattan no specific synagogue had been targeted.

(snip)

The two men, at least one of whom was a muslim of North African descent, had already obtained some guns and were trying to buy more more, as well as a grenade.

This related AP story claims that: the FBI was consulted about the case and declined to pursue it.

Go figure.

Government employees are not your friends. They are not there to protect you, save you, or help you in any way. They are there to drain the treasury every pay period, and to provide cover for those who do the same. Those in positions of policy and power are tasked with extorting financial gains for their party.

“The victims would be crackers and Jews.
Their welfare is of no interest to my DOJ
unless they convert to Islam and join the DNC.
The attackers are "our people" and are therefore
a protected class. There is NOTHING to see here.
Now, on you knees before your King.”

Do you think American Jews get it yet?

Didn’t think so.

The overwhelming majority of them will vote for the anti-Jew, anti-Christian narcissistic communist again.

“at least one of whom was a muslim of North African descent, had already obtained some guns”

As for disinterest of the FBI, they have been trained not to endure the headaches and handcuffs associated with investigating anything Islamic.

“Agent, would you be investigating this case is the suspects were NOT Islamic?”

“Well, then...it’s a local issue, isn’t it?!”

It’s amazing, isn’t it?

How the press and elites are working so hard to keep people from realizing we are in a 9th century war. It has come to the point where these attacks are happening regularly, with people being killed and maimed (such as Fort Hood) and the MSM is working very hard to keep people from realizing what is really going on.

They are despicable.

I think we hear about far too many of these "plots" in contrast to the ones that are actually carried out. The people planning them cannot possibly all be stupid enough to recruit undercover FBI agents. It just doesn't make sense to me.

“Two men trying to buy weapons including AK 47...”

Eric Holder would probably be willing to sell these to them. Isn’t he the head *gunrunner*?

This is the 13th plot thwarted against the city since the Sept. 11.

And ABC knows there were only 13 plots thwarted? Pompous loons.

Jewish-Americans will give bigtime to Democrats and vote for them

Its not surprising they have a history of this all their lives.

They backed FDR even though he turned away the St. Louis and was send back to Hamburg and those Jews were killed after being mocked that nobody wanted them.

The FBI also wouldn’t investigate the attempted railroading of three white students who were falsely accused of rape and threated with death by the Black Panthers (among others) in one of the most corrupt towns in the South (Durham).

Reverse the colors (and insert “klan” for “black panthers”)
and see how fast the FBI would have arrived on the scene.

The legendary FBI (as portrayed by Efrim Zimbalist and Jimmy Stewart) may have existed at one time; but that legend sure has been tarnished in the past few years...

At this point those who don’t know, don’t want to know.

Yeah, well, it’s not like they were planning to blow up a mosque or something important like that. /s//
