Is this a JOKE??? This story wasn’t on the FRONT PAGE?? NYT is Certifiably INSANE!
If it had been a plot to take out the NY Times building or any Alphabet's corporate headquarters, it would be on Page One right next to the daily stories about Paris Hilton and Lindsey Cokehead.
NY Times says this is NOT a BIG Deal....:
Papers Portray Plot as More Talk Than Action
*****************************EXCERPT*****************************
The plot as painted by law enforcement officials was cataclysmic: A home-grown Islamic terrorist had in mind detonating fuel storage tanks and pipelines and setting fire to Kennedy International Airport, not to mention a substantial swath of Queens.
Had the plot been carried out, it could have resulted in unfathomable damage, deaths and destruction, Roslynn R. Mauskopf, the United States attorney in Brooklyn, said in a news release that announced charges against four men. She added at a news conference, The devastation that would be caused had this plot succeeded are just unthinkable.
Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly then stepped to the lectern with a vision only a bit less grim.
Once again, would-be terrorists have put New York City in their crosshairs, he said. Mr. Kelly said a disaster had been averted.
But the criminal complaint filed by the federal authorities against the four defendants in the case one of them, Abdel Nur, remained at large yesterday suggests a less than mature terror plan, a proposed effort longer on evil intent than on operational capability.
(Ms. Mauskopf noted in her news release that the public was never at risk and told reporters that law enforcement had stopped this plot long before it ever had a chance to be carried out.)
