CHILLING TERROR PLOT THWARTED * 4 SET TO ‘BOMB’ BRONX SYNAGOGUES * EYED PLANE ‘SHOOTDOWN’ UPSTATE

Four homegrown Muslim terrorists on a mission from hell were arrested last night as they planted what they thought were high-powered plastic explosives at two Bronx synagogues, authorities said.

The men were also allegedly plotting to use a Stinger missile to shoot a military plane out of the sky in upstate New York immediately after the bombings.

“This is America’s finest hour. The best resources of the Police Department, Homeland Security and the FBI kept us safe,” said Jonathan Rosenblatt, a rabbi at the targeted Riverdale Jewish Center.

He noted that some of the members had survived the Holocaust. “To see a synagogue burning would have been painful,” he said.

The jihadist wannabes — all from Newburgh, NY — began their unholy mission last night at around 9 p.m. at the Riverdale Temple on Independence Avenue, authorities said.

They planted what they thought were explosives in a parked car outside the house of worship.

One acted as a lookout, while the other three allegedly drove up the block to the Riverdale Jewish Center and planted two more bags of “explosives” in cars.

Unbeknownst to them, their explosives were duds — supplied by authorities who had been monitoring their plan for more than a year.

Your NY Post article would be more accurate to state they're converts to islam, however they do put the muslim aspect front and center in the first sentence, so kudos to them.

The arabist-loving Aye Pee forces their readers to draw conclusion to the perps being muslim saying one of them was angry about the war and alleged mistreatment and murder of muslims by US forces. Offered as justification for the plot, no doubt. And refusing to print they are muslim converts.
