The FBI had reportedly arrested last week four American Muslims who were planning an attack on the Israeli Consulate in Los Angeles, Channel 2 News reported Friday evening.
According to the report, the four - all African-Americans who had converted to Islam - admitted to attaining a map of the consulate, as well as address of synagogues in the Los Angeles area.
Cell members also gathered information on El Al flights to and from LA.
It remained unclear how close the cell members were to carrying out an attack against Israeli and Jewish targets in LA.

Anything posted on this?
I didn't see anything...
I have some friends who worked in city government during and after 9-11. In the days after the 9-11 attacks, the local government asked the Israeli Consulate if they wanted some extra protection. The answer, "we don't need any small arms"
I assume the Israelis are prepared to defend the consulate.
Wow! Why did we have to hear this from the Jerusalem Post and not from US media? (Oh, I forgot - the life and death issue of Karl Rove...)
I posted the story from a local news source as breaking news and the mods saw fit to remove it.
