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.
These terror dudes arent too bright. International travel would be affected most, not domestic.
Those inbound flights could be diverted to other airports until the pipeline was restored.
Let’s give the FBI their due!
Good job people!!
Many faults lie with our gov’t and there are many areas for improvement, but when they’ve done something right, they’ve done it right and this they did well!!
Proud of ya’ all! Thank you.
Russell Afreitas (Defreitas?) - a Muslim U.S. citizen from Guyana and an imam
Abdul Nur
Kareem Ibrihim
Abdul Kadir - a member of Parliament of Guyana
If the perp is a white Christian male, it will be all over the news for weeks. If he is a member of the ideology of death and destruction, we’ve already heard the last of it.
I love it!
New Terrorist Bomb Attack-- Thirteen Injured in Trinidad Explosion
stop that!
In all, four individuals, including the former Guyana parliament member, Abdul Kadir, and Russell Defreitas, a U.S. citizen and native of Guyana who worked as an airport cargo worker, have been charged with conspiring to attack JFK.
Also in custody are Kareem Ibrahim, a citizen of Trinidad who is in custody in Trinidad and Abdel Nur, a citizen of Guyana. The United States is planning to seek their extradition.
According to the criminal complaint, the defendants performed physical surveillance, made video recordings of JFK and its buildings and facilities, located satellite photographs of JFK on the Internet and sought expert advice, financing and explosives.
The complaint adds that an informant and Defreitas discussed the war in Lebanon in August 2006 and agreed, “Muslims always incur the wrath of the world while the Jews get a pass.”
It was at that point, court records say, Defreitas shared with the informant “that he had a vision that would make the WTC attack seem small.”
Officials viewed the alleged plotters as a credible threat, but sources said they apparently did not have the technical savvy to carry out the plot.
The planning for the plot was said to be going on for two to three years but sources claim the alleged plotters were nowhere near any ability to put it into place.
One official said the plan “was not technically feasible.” Officials added that the alleged plotters had no explosives and had not yet figured out a way to get some.
The pipeline snakes more than 100 miles from Pennsylvania through New Jersey to JFK. Once they learned of the plot, authorities investigated at what points the pipeline could be accessed and found that even if those points were bombed, there would be little to no impact —

Bashing is a strong word, and not even accurate. Calling President Bush, Trent Lott or Fred Barnes (I don’t know the Hewitt person) onto the carpet for their sellout of conservatives is certainly fair game. If they really feel that the immigration bill is popular with the base, they have not only misled, but the are also totally incompetent.
Ronald Reagan was a great president who made some mistakes. Even good leaders make mistakes sometimes and the wise thing to do is learn from their mistakes. Signing the 1986 amnesty bill was one of Reagan’s mistakes.
And if she can't kill the germs, she will slice them open and staple them.
Oh, I don't think the Mayor's gonna like that idea...
So right on Schumer. I marvel at how he takes no responsibility whatsoever for doing NOTHING along with Hillary in this state, yet they’re so INCENSED at W for not giving enough money or doing more against this WOT that doesn’t exist (according to them). I feel a rat virus coming on.
Wait a minute... there’s no GWOT. I forgot, it’s because we’re in Iraq; All the other places around the globe (including Muslims killing Muslims), is because of our involvement in Iraq (not Afghanistan), or they’re our friends. /s/s/s
I must try harder.
And all those embassy bombings, Beirut, the Cole and of course 9-11 were because we... were... oh forget it. It’s because of our Capitalist, Fascist, BushhitlerHalliburtonMcChimpglobalistnewworldorder (the man so dumb, he took down his own trade towers and made passengers disappear a la Mulder, or die, or shot them down, or set charges on hundreds of floors all by himself and they’re still trying to figure it out... of course with the help of the Jooooos). The mosques, imams, mullahs have nothing to do with this and our persecution of Islam brought it on us. All this will stop when Chairman Meow is president and we elect more Ellisons and members of CAIR/New Black Panther Party/NOI (hey, the inmate converts have to be represented too), build more mosques and understand the struggle of Palestinians and all Muslims (who can’t seem to make a country work or come out of the seventh century),... why can’t the rightwing nutcases see this? s/s/s/s/s/s/s/
P.S. Hillary, the women in Africa and the Middle East are still waiting for the feminists to help them btw.
"Many on Trinidad believe that the Jamaat al Muslimeen is connected with the recent soaring of violence on Trinidad and Tobago. Last year, 380 people were killed, and 70 were kidnapped for ransom on the islands. The group has been involved with attempting to muscle in on businesses, such as illegal mining activities in quarries in the Valencia and Wallerfield areas, though Jamaat has denied this."

I think someone hit the FOX NEWS ALERT button by accident
Any WholeFoods store I’ve been at would never have the ineffectual TSA people work their checkout line.
Then proceed to overstay that visa in violation of the law. Just like the 9/11 hijackers.
“Let’s spend all our money on a border fence and ignore the fact that super-badguys will always get in, and are already here legally anyway.”
We can build a very nice fence for the $30 billion more the President is going to donate to kleptocrats in Africa.... We can fund plenty of “homeland security” for the $2 billion the WH still gives to Egypt each year.
