Investigators said the goal was to injure and maim as many people as possible, but the suspect was arrested before obtaining any weapons
Authorities have arrested three men in connection with an alleged ISIS-inspired plot to target music concerts, landmarks and crowded subways in New York, federal prosecutors announced Friday afternoon.
Three men, Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy, a 19-year-old Canadian citizen; Talha Haroon, a 19-year-old U.S. citizen based in Pakistan; and Russell Salic, a 37-year-old Philippines citizen were all arrested on terror-related charges in the alleged plot that would have targeted New York City during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan in 2016, according to Acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim.
El Bahnasawy was arrested on May 21, 2016, in New Jersey and was preparing to carry out the attacks; he has since pleaded guilty to multiple terrorism offenses. Haroon had allegeldy made plans to travel to New York to join El Bahnasawy and was arrested in Pakistan. Salic, who allegedly wired money to the U.S. to fund the attack, was arrested in his home country.
Attorney information for the three men wasn't immediately available.
Kim's office said this latest New York terror plot was more aspirational than operational, but the trio talked about setting off bombs in Times Square and the subway system. Prosecutors said that Al Bahnasawy also communicated with an undercover agent posing as an ISIS sympathizer about wanting to "shoot up concerts cuz they kill lots of people."
"We just need guns in our hands," El Bahnasawy said. "That's how the Paris guys did it."
Haroon, meanwhile, told the undercover agent that he saw the subway as a "perfect" attack for the Ramadan attack, and that they should shoot as many train riders as possible before setting off suicide vests. He even talked about getting supplies to make explosives for the attack.
"When we runout of bullets we let the vests go off," he said on May 5, 2016.
Then, three days later Haroon added, "NY Needs to fall. It's a must."
News that a major New York area venue hosting a concert could have been in the ISIS crosshairs comes days after a lone actor with no link to any terror group opened fire on a crowd at a country music festival in Las Vegas. Stephen Paddock killed 58 people before taking his own life in his hotel room.
Thanks for the ping.
The only thing that makes sense is your analysis.
Wow, yet another mere coincidence.
It’s almost as important to believe Paddock was the perpetrator as it was to believe zero was born in Hawaii...
That way the deep dark hole of Islamic jihad stays hidden.
BTW did you see this, I just haven’t had enough time to read news as I used to be able to. Maybe others went to and fro unobserved, as well.
Stephen Paddock: Las Vegas terrorist had access to Mandalay Bay Hotel’s service elevator as ‘perk’
Concession a courtesy reserved for casino’s ‘high rollers’ that may have enabled gunman to come and go unobserved
Facts are fluid, right? First Campos is described as a hero because he notified hotel security there was a shooter on the floor and he had been wounded. Then, an employee Schuck (SP?) shows up and says he was checking a STUCK FIRE door report...and came across the wounded Campos who told him to ‘take cover’ - then bullets started flying past him as he hid in a doorway... and it was Schuck who made the call to report the shooting...and that was BEFORE the shots were fired which hit the crowd below.
So that revised the timelines, and now Campos is under police guard.
The story keeps changing to suit the latest revelations.
The only thing constant is the need to keep naming Paddock as the perpetrator.
But the only thing that ties Paddock into the atrocity is the fact that he was found dead on the floor of the room.
The weapons purchased legally by him may have already changed hands as part of a sting operation.
Two people ordered a meal, and the only indication you have that Paddock was one of them, is his name on the print out on the account. I would like to see the autopsy that shows his stomach contents.
I doubt if this is what happened, but it strikes me it’s possible an unconscious Paddock was brought up the service elevator and planted there then shot...by the real perpetrators, who left by the same FIRE-DOOR/ or service elevator. The door that was PROPPED OPEN.
I think most people haven’t picked up on the fact that a woman driving Paddock’s vehicle used the parking-lot several days before, using the name of his girlfriend who was already in the Philippines at the time. Perhaps the cell phone charger belonged to her?
So let’s ask, who planted the explosives in Paddock’s vehicle, who actually brought the weapons up to the apartment? And who was the woman driving Paddock’s vehicle days before? Might she have been the one who commented to audience members ‘you are all going to die’?
She was apparently escorted from the venue. Her identity is therefore no secret.
It’s all like watching a film script being written. The author notes that a certain scenario doesn’t work, crosses it out and replaces the scene with something else.
It’s downright embarrassing to watch. So many people dead and injured, and the people you need to be able to trust, are lying to you.
Time of death. Autopsies have something to say about that. We don’t hear anything, though. Dozens of questions are not asked by journalists or answered by anyone who knows.
It’s like a strange play. Sort of “guess what really happened” play, with only a few bits showing.
And if it’s a sting gone horribly wrong, you’ll never know about it.
Unless someone leaks....
That would have to be someone without a vested interest - in staying alive. Not too many of that kind around.
Prosecutors said that Al Bahnasawy also communicated with an undercover agent posing as an ISIS sympathizer about wanting to "shoot up concerts cuz they kill lots of people."
Seems to me that was the start of how the undercover agent posing as an ISIS sympathizer was ultimately identified - and from that moment on, his life and the lives of 58 people in the audience were forfeit.
Your analysis is the only explanation that makes any sense. Nothing else makes even an atom of sense.
And once upon a time there was a man who claimed his father was a goat herder from Kenya...
And that “story” had enough holes in it to make 10,000 pairs of net stockings.
And yet, somehow or other, the real story was discovered, clue by clue.
Hmmm - haven’t read it yet, just saw this posted:

CONSPIRACY GARBAGE
I didn’t know one way or another...
There will be more where that came from, and it comes from being lied to. That meal trolley could have been there from the day before...housekeeping just walked past it and left it there?
Or housekeeping wasn’t there at all.
I didn’t keep a copy of the receipt, can’t remember the date on it, can you?
Here you go:

Now, iirc, the date of that meal was the day before some woman using his girlfriend’s name drove his vehicle into the parking lot at the casino. I’ll have ot find THAT piece of paper also. Doesn’t anyone keep copies of +things+
frustration setting in
