2 NAILED IN HERALD SQ. SUBWAY BLAST PLOT
Sources said the threat was taken so seriously by officials that it was mentioned this week in a Department of Homeland Security memo.
The plot unraveled when the NYPD's Intelligence Division began conducting surveillance earlier this year on a group of Muslim men in Brooklyn.
One of the men arrested yesterday had been thrown out of the group, sources said.
"Whether this is al Qaeda or an unstable lone wolf doesn't make much of a difference as to the danger," said a law enforcement official.
The men, described as being in their 20s, don't appear to be connected with Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network, sources said.

Thankyou for the post, c in nyc.
I thought Hanoi Kerry had said that terrorism wasn't a real threat!!(( Or am i just part of the right wing conspiracy? (sarcasm))
Kerry is such a lying scumbag, wish a group of us could debate him!
You expect this crap from al Qaeda, Hamas and other terrorists groups but what really burns my toast is that we have to fight and vanquish the Enemy Within while they flow into NYC as we are reading & writing here.
The best way to get rid of these scum protesters against Bush is to spray them with soapy water. It will remind them of a distant past experience called a "shower" which would cause them to recoil in disgust and run from the scene and try to find some mud to roll in.
Good thing the scumbag was caught though.
Unfortunately, the article is missing the first paragraph, which appears on the cover (not your fault).
Thanking you. The part about the Islamic book store was pretty significant.
