NEW YORK -- According to NewsChannel4's Jonathan Dienst, sources said federal investigators have made arrests in an alleged terror plot on Kennedy Airport.
Law enforcement officials said the plot may involved a former airport worker.
A press conference is scheduled for 1 p.m. this afternoon.
Simply stating a fact, a consequence of the free-exchange private-enterprise system is not "blaming" anyone.
If blame needs to be assigned, I would start with the plotters.
The illegals among us.
Those who live among us who don't belong here and mean to do us harm.
The names are out now:
NEW YORK — According to NewsChannel4’s Jonathan Dienst, sources said federal investigators have made arrests in an alleged terror plot on Kennedy Airport.
Four people have been charged. One is in custody in New York. Three suspects in total are in custody. One is still at large.
According to sources, the suspects have been identified as: Russell Defreitas, Abdul Nur, Kareem Ibrihim and Abdul Kadir.
Sources said a cargo worker at JFK allegedly began to plot attacking the US last July or August. The cargo worker sought help in carrying out a plan and went to an FBI informant, who gathered information about the plot.
The cargo worker is a U.S. citizen with roots in Guyana. Sources said he be a former government official in Guyana.
Sources said counter-terrorism officials have been following the plot for a little less than one year.
Couldn’t help it when I read your comment...Brad Paisley...”I wanna check you for ticks” was playing. Whole other meaning now...LOL.
What I wonder is why they hire Pakistani’s and Afghani’s to do airport security in America? Why, if we have a DHS, and just for the sake of conversation, we believe they care, would our government let the fox guard our henhouse?
Oh, thats right, its all about PC and fairness. Do ya think maybe they could blow a few of our hard earned taxpayer bucks to hire Natural born Americans? I mean just to be on the safe side, as though that really matters in a globalist’s mind.
O.K. Let's just assume it's all false.
How does that help?
Then he probably got tossed off the plane when he asked for 3 seat belt extenders.
The plot, which never got past the planning stages, did not involve airplanes or passenger terminals, according to the two officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the arrests had not yet been announced. A senior law enforcement official told FOX News that of the three arrests, one was in New York and two were in Trinidad. The New York suspect has been identified as Russell Afreitas, a former JFK employee who allegedly planned to attack the airport's fuel supply because he thought he could do more damage than attacking a passenger terminal. Afreitas is a Muslim U.S. citizen from Guyana. In carrying out the alleged plot, Afreitas unknowingly recruited an FBI informant, and surveillance on Afreitas began. One of the other suspects arrested in Trinidad was identified as Abdul Kabir, a member of Parliament of Guyana.
Three people were arrested and one other was being sought in connection to a plan to set off explosives in a fuel line that feeds John F. Kennedy International Airport and runs through residential neighborhoods, officials close to the investigation said.
You can follow the Fox updates HERE.
“This is why I think Rudy is the frontrunner in the polls and why he will win the GOP nomination. With headlines like these, people will look to Rudy as a natural to lead us on the war on terror. If we continue to thwart these threats next year, Rudy won’t even have to run ads. He’d be a shoe-in. Who would fight the war on terror better, Hillary/Obama or Rudy? It’s a no brainer.”
Voting for Rudy, a gun grabber, is definitely a “no brainer.”
Only someone with no brains would vote for someone who didn’t respect individual liberty.
Do you think you may be manipulated a little here. Rooty and his handlers are just looking to take our minds off what is real and supplant this garbage to put the fear in us if we don’t vote for Rooty.
Its all BS. This was no real plot, if our current government was really on the ball, these people would have never been hired to do the jobs in the first place.
Unfortunately for us... many of the America haters who are willing to blow us up! are legally here!
from the NY Slimes:
“The plot involved a former airport worker in his 60s, who is a United States citizen of Guyanese descent and lives in New York, and a former member of the Guyanese parliament, who is also an imam.”
We are really in trouble folks! We are letting Muslims in helter skelter LEGALLY!
Give me a tin foil hat if you like, but I think everything now is being manipulated. I have lost all confidence in the Senate and the House. I have especially lost all confidence and what little respect I once held for the President, the GOP and the RNC as well. There are all non-existent to me now.
There ya go — this is what we were just about talking about last week:
Muslims flying back and forth to the Caribbean. It appears that the JFK suspects are from Trinidad and/or Guyana. I knew that something was up when at every flight I took from Baltimore-to-San Juan and back (for which I travel often during the year) there were Muslims on my flights. Most of these Muslims were coming back from Barbados or Trinidad and stopping in San Juan to take a flight to the mainland U.S.
I told Chris Plante about this a year ago, when I returned from one of my Puerto Rico trips, and he thought it was a serious situation. These guys can get a hold of one of these flights and crash it once it is on U.S. air space. TSA security at the San Juan airport is a joke.
I’ll bet there’s a real crackdown now on old ladies in wheelchairs at the security checkpoints.
All Federal press conferences start late. I think its a given
I don’t know why you’re telling me that, but thanks anyway......
To me it is just another convenient buch of baloney the government is responsible for in the first place.
Do we take the time to ask why these people, our enemies, are in jobs that are supposed to protect our security? Uh, no.
Do we ask why our government is allowing us to be slowly poisoned by China, and allowing poisonous chinese products to be dispersed acoss our soil, Uh, no.
Are any of our Congress creeps held accountable for getting rich off of selling out the American people? Uh, no.
I no longer think they even care about national security. Looks like a plot to take our minds off the traitorous immigration bill and make us think they are doing their job in spite of porous borders and destruction of the american culture.
Next we will see, little All Gonzales talking about how they were looking out for us! What a joke.
Last, but not least, we will be reminded how only Rooty can save us. Ha!
