FBI, NYPD Arrest 4 in Alleged Plot to Bomb NY Synagogues
NBC New York ^ | May 20, 2009 | Jonathan Dienst

Posted on 05/20/2009 6:55:16 PM PDT by Sergeant Tim

EXCLUSIVE: Four New York City men were arrested Wednesday in connection with an alleged plot to blow up New York City synagogues and other city locations, WNBC's Jonathan Dienst has learned.

Raids by the FBI-NYPD Joint Terrorist Task Force in the Bronx captured the suspected ringleader and three followers in what law enforcement sources are calling a homegrown terrorist plot.

Investigators stress the suspects' meetings had been infiltrated early on and there was "no chance" the alleged plot could succeed.

Investigators said several of the suspects are Muslims who allegedly talked about destroying two Jewish temples, including at least one in the Riverdale section of the Bronx.

The men ordered and accepted delivery of materials they believed were bomb-making ingredients, authorities said. But investigators said they made sure the materials the suspects received were inert. Officials tell WNBC they moved in now so the alleged plot could not progress any further.

The four men are in custody and are expected to be arraigned Thursday in White Plains federal court on terrorism-related counts.

Boy, I hope nobody had to resort to waterboarding to get info leading to these arrests.

It would be better to have people dead in the synagogues than to....

Hm.

By which time this will be old news and nobody will care.

At least nobody in the weak-stream media.

Understandable. They don't want to face charges of "flagrant Islamophobia", which, in today's world, is more of a crime than plotting to blow up synagogues.

The march to Orwell's "1984" continues.

Initial reports are that the four had been scheming to blow up a Jewish synagogue in the Bronx with a car bomb. The suspects also allegedly attempted to procure stinger missiles to shoot down military aircraft near West Point. At least three appear to be radicalized recent converts to Islam, according to law enforcement sources. For the latest, tune to 77 WABC or listen online at http://www.wabcradio.com/listen
