Authorities continue to search for a man they consider the fourth suspect in a terror plot to blow up a jet fuel line at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.
But they may be close to finding the wanted man, Abdel Nur, said Mark Mershon, the assistant director in charge of the FBI's New York field office, in an interview with ABC News' "Good Morning America Weekend Edition."
"I believe Nur is still in Trinidad," Mershon said. "I hope we have an arrest this weekend."
Of the three other men charged, two remain custody in Trinidad.
Another man, Russell Defreitas, was arraigned in Brooklyn Saturday. He is a U.S. citizen, a native of Guyana and a former cargo worker at the airport.
Officials said Defreitas was secretly taped by the FBI saying, "To hit John F. Kennedy, wow ... If you hit that, this whole country will be in mourning. It's like you can kill the man twice."
John Miller, the FBI's assistant director of public affairs, told ABC News' "This Week" it did not appear the plotters had a direct connection to al Qaeda.
"I think al Qaeda is operating on a split plane," he said, explaining that it continues to put out propaganda to incite others, while still planning its next big attack.
"When you're looking at inspired through the internet, homegrown extremists, well they can pop up anywhere," Miller said.

Thanks for that LINK....Yikes!
“Government-subsidized recruiting offices...”
With efforts paid for by our “staunch allies” the Saudis.
I think you’re right...these small, independent cells serve the larger cause of Islamofascism by keeping our personnel and resources occupied while they put their energy into other larger schemes...as a NYC resident I am starting to get worried about a coordinated subway attack or some other spectacular and crippling event...I do feel encouraged by the presence of undercover ‘snitches’ in this case and the Ft. Dix case...but the Islamic nutjobs are persistent nutjobs so I dread another NYC attack.

A recent terrorist trial, and conviction, of an Islamic terrorists in New York City brought out the extent to which police have infiltrated Moslem communities in order to uncover terrorist plots. While most of this counter-terrorist activity within Moslem communities is kept secret, enough information has leaked out to make it clear that it’s no accident that the United States has not suffered another terrorist attack since September 11, 2001.
There is an extensive informant network within Moslem communities all over the United States. The FBI was pleasantly surprised right after September 11, 2001, by the number of calls they got from American Moslems, reporting suspicious events in their communities, or volunteering to keep an eye on things. It turned out that there was a substantial number of American Moslems, most of them recent immigrants (legal and illegal) that were pro al Qaeda. These attitudes had been causing distress among American Moslems since the 1990s. There had been violence, and even some murders, as the Islamic radicals tried to take control of Mosques, and other Moslem immigrant organizations.

But there are still many within the Moslem community who want to carry out terrorist attacks. These people have learned to be careful what they say, and who they talk to. They have become learned in how the American judicial system works, and don’t give the FBI an excuse to make arrests, or launch aggressive investigations. For example, police in some parts of the country believe that a few of the “self-defense” groups formed in Mosques have motives beyond protecting the Mosque from anti-Moslem terrorists.

The .gov keeps claiming that these terrorists are “homegrown” when they are consistantly from other countries.
Why?
Because these a$$holes plan on shoving these islamists up our collective rectum and blaming us for it!!!!
These anal orifices plan on using terrorism to take power (and our rights) while claiming the moral high ground. They are no better than Osama bin Laden.
Seems like they are well on their way toward redefining another word beyond recognition.
