The Associated Press is reporting that three people are arrested and one other is being sought in a plot to blow up John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Sources say the plot, which never got passed the planning stage, involved a plan to set off explosives in a jet fuel pipeline that feeds through the airport and runs through residential neighborhoods.

Law enforcement officials say that one of the men involved is a former airport worker from Guyana. Sources say the man was arrested last night.

Sources say he recruited an FBI informant to help plan the attack. He reportedly met with a radical group in Trinidad, where other arrests have been made in the case.

Sources also say the reason the arrests took place at this time was because the suspects had plans to travel.

Details on the foiled attack will be given at a 1 p.m. news conference.
