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.

The prison conversions are a bad thing but guess there's no way to prevent it. In this case if you tried to separate the muslims they would cry foul.

These 4 terrorists were a bit inept, lol, watched all that time and sold inert bomb stuff. Watched while they were planting them...

A “plum” case for FBI agents to be involved in

It would be nice if we ever discovered one or more wearing Obama T-Shirts - like that big “America’s Most Wanted” graphic had on it

Hello, sorry it took me so long to respond to you, was at work. I am not referring to that horrible video which shows cops beating an unconscious man. You're right, very unprofessional. The officers involved were fired, and rightly so.

The video I was referring to and the few anti-cop FReepers i mentioned can be found in the following links..

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2250464/posts

In the above link, you will see a cop kick a suspect in the head once as the suspect was lying on the ground. You, as a LEO with over 25 years of experience (which I respect) please tell me if the officer should be given the benefit of the doubt. The problem I had with some who posted, including woollyone, was the immediate knee jerk reaction to condemn his actions. Also some of the blatant anti-cop statements really ticked me off.

In this link.....

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2245193/posts

A FReeper morally equated an off-duty police officer shooting an unarmed man to the Holocaust!! Yes, the extermination of 11 million people by the Nazi regime!!
Look at some of the comments..they are disgusting.

Now I am not saying that both cops were right. What I am saying is to reserve judgment until all the facts are known.
But there are certain FReepers with a prejudicial attitude towards cops and rush to judgment.

I guarantee you that if any were caught wearing an obvious Obama shirt the FBI, police, etc, would remove or cover it up.

Seems I recall seeing something draped over one of their backs, will have to go look again.

As long as Muslims preach convert/kill until the globe is converted to Islam, we will bash them.

A group of Obama voters out to commit jihad in the US... great. Just great.

And their dear leader wants to insert Al Qaeda-trained terrorists into the American prison system where they will undoubtedly find rapt audiences... wow, the snob and his rebuilt America just gets better every day.

Thank God for the FBI, and for the dedicated undercover agents who caught these guys in the act.

We have some wonderful men and women working hard to keep this country safe.

After Obama’s weak-kneed speech full of meaningless platitudes this morning, it is refreshing to see that the FBI does its work well WITHOUT any help from the White House.

The Popular Culture chose to demonize cops along time ago.

Long before that incident on the streets of Los Angeles in way back in 1991, Hollywood was creating the ‘Cop From Hell’ to portray Law Enforcement in a villainous light.

I refer to films such as Q&A and INTERNAL AFFAIRS from 1990 as examples. Go read Michael Medved’s HOLLYWOOD VERSUS AMERICA 1992

Terrorists aren’t trying to hit my neighborhood - so why should I care?

Of course I read your post. It remains indefensible. Here's a summary: A whole bunch of left-wingers live in NYC, they don't hold the same values that I do so they deserve to be killed by terrorists. Also, because its not anywhere near my house, I don't care, regardless of the fact that they are American citizens, on American soil. That about sum it up?

Isn't it interesting and PREDICTABLE that the fat dyke Napolitano NEVER mentioned black convicts converted to Islam while in prison - with the FULL COOPERATION of Federal and State governments who ALLOW militant Wahhabi Islamic “clerics” into prison to brainwash the dim witted criminals — as potential “enemies of State”?

Who was she most concerned about alienating?
The blacks? The criminals? The Muslims? Her boss's constituency?

The bitch had no problem warning American to be wary of White Christians veterans and especially those with prior combat experience that may have “warped their minds”...

To paraphrase Michelle Obama...
This is the first time in my adult life that my government thinks of me as the enemy and defends my enemies...

Good point. Yuri Bezmenov has said that the subversion of America includes demonizing organizations such as the Military and Law Enforcement while portraying America’s enemies and criminals in a sympathetic light. Apparently it has been partially successful on a few FReepers.

Obumba fails to mention a major capture in a national speech......why? because the investigation was a year old, and ended in success....something the answer man can't express or even consider.
The Cheney speech was planned several weeks ago, Obumba had to respond quickly and failed miserably.

all the facts are pretty well known to everyone who has eyes to see that video...

The perp complied, was on the ground and the cop kicked him in the face! That is called an unwarranted escalation of force and will probably buy that department a civil suit. The video tells all we need to know.

your hero.

That cop and your mindset would never pass psych eval. with my employer.

We need LEO, but we do NOT need thugs.
And anyone who endorses that thuggery is equally unbalanced.

Apparently these guys became Muslims while in prison. The New York State prison system does not monitor the activities of these Imam prison chaplins who spread hatred amongst these Muslim converts. Typical liberal response. Again the MSM is not covering this story the way it should. Everything is designed to fit the politically correct point of view. You cannot trust the media.

“all the facts are pretty well known to everyone who has eyes to see that video...”

Yes, I guess the video tells the whole story...right.

What we don’t know is what the cop was SAYING to that thug. If he was telling him to put his hands behind his back and thug did not comply, maybe the kick will help him understand.

Now I’m not saying that’s what happened...I’m saying WE DON”T KNOW WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED!! So hold of judgment...

“That cop and your mindset would never pass psych eval. with my employer.”

If your reasoning, as displayed by your posts, are indicative as to what your employer considers a passable psych eval., I’ll take that as a compliment.

“We need LEO, but we do NOT need thugs.
And anyone who endorses that thuggery is equally unbalanced.”

The only thug in that video WAS THE PERP!!! You display your bias towards cops by deeming that officer to be a thug before ALL THE FACTS are in. Like i told you before...go get a clue and then come back and play ball. Stop thinking like a liberal. I bet you also think our Military are filled with thugs don’t you Lib?
