NEW YORK — One of the daughters of a man among four accused in a terror plot to destroy John F. Kennedy International Airport and surrounding areas told FOX News Saturday that her father was "falsely arrested."
Abdul Kadir, a Muslim and former member of Parliament in Guyana, was arrested in Trinidad for attempting to secure money for "terrorist operations," according to a Guyanese police commander who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Kadir's wife, Isha, said that her husband was nabbed while boarding a flight to Venezuela, where he planned to pick up a travel visa to attend an Islamic religious conference in Iran. He had flown from Guyana to Trinidad on Thursday.
But Kadir's daughter said that her father had no knowledge or association to the plot that aimed to kill thousands of people and trigger an economic catastrophe by blowing up a jet fuel artery that runs through populous residential neighborhoods.
Kadir has no problems with America, would never do anything wrong and would never associate with a group like Al Qaeda, his daughter said.
"This is a total surprise," she said.
"We have no interest in blowing up anything in the U.S.," Isha said Saturday from the couple's home in Guyana. "We have relatives in the U.S."
Both were reacting after three men were arrested and one was being sought in Trinidad. In an indictment charging the four men, one of them is quoted as saying the foiled plot would "cause greater destruction than in the Sept. 11 attacks," destroying the airport, killing several thousand people and destroying parts of Queens, where the line runs underground.
The plot never got past the planning stages. It posed no immediate threat to air safety or the public, the FBI said Saturday.

He was such a nice, quiet man. He kept to himself....
Infidels, however......
-easier to go unnoticed in the background to plot your evil plans.
always paid his rent on time...
Uhh, whatever, Miss Bates.
All good people have a Venezuelan/Iranian nexus in their life.
If only he was out to kill fleas. He is out to kill me!That is the difference.
It’s obvious he wouldn’t hurt a flea, notice all the fleas in his beard.
“My baby ain’t never hurt nobody!”
No, just Infidels and Jews who had it coming.
I would laugh at your brilliant post if this wasn't such a sad thread.
“We have relatives in the U.S.”
I hope they’ve been scrutinized by Homeland Security.
Bullshit.
Taqiya.
This is kinda stupid reporting. What did they think his family would say? “String him up, he’s potentially a cold blooded mass murderer”? Sheesh, he’s just been arrested and already the MM is trying to get a sympathy vote in the court of public opinion.
The facts will duly come out, but in the meantime, better safe than sorry.
If yer "bible" says you have to be a tourist, or MURDER to get to heaven, you have no place in civilized society!
Not sure why the MSM insists on finding it ironic when a terror suspect is described as a “quiet” type who wouldn’t “hurt a flea.”
They seem to be fixated on the idea that the terrorists among us are rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth types with uncontrollable emotions wildly waving their arms all the time, stomping on ants and pulling the wings off of flies.
The most dangerous ones are quiet, devout, well-read of their religious literature, well-educated in fields such as engineering, and capable of long-term planning and execution.
no, he’d never hurt a flea...just Americans.
