A suspect described “a lone wolf” was arrested Thursday in connection with a plan to throw explosives at people in New York City’s famed Times Square, according to reports.

The unidentified suspect was taken into custody soon after investigators from the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force learned that he was inquiring about buying grenades, the New York Daily News reported.

No information was released about the suspect’s age, nationality or place of residence but he was scheduled to appear in court in Brooklyn on Friday, WCBS-TV in New York City reported.

Nadler, Schumer, Pelosi, AOC, Gillibrand? They all fit the description of hating America.

I do not want any such attack to succeed,however; it would have been interesting to see how the gun-control Muslims are really peaceful knuckleheads crowds spun the news if such an attack happened.

"...planned grenade attack in Times Square..."


Good job, law enforcement. That would have otherwise been a total nightmare.

Not our problem.

New Yorkers oppose all efforts used to catch this guy and any coming punishment.

After all I have seen since 9/11/2001, I no longer care if NYC gets nuked and the survivors strafed.

A “lone wolf” Mennonite I would presume? If it was a white guy the photos would be everywhere.

I’m glad that many/most of these terrorists seem to have low IQ’s. Like the shoe-bomber that used matches with his nervous sweaty hands instead of a lighter.

I’m guessing any 12-year old kid can get on the internet and get a recipe for an explosive device. But luckily this guy was asking around for grenades.

Like there is no such thing as a moderate muslin, there is not such thing as a “lone wolf” when it comes to terrorism.

You do know that New Yorkers avoid Times Square like the plague, don’t you? It is filled with American tourists from around the country.

“I’m glad that many/most of these terrorists seem to have low IQ’s.”

I’m guessing Wal-Mart was out of hand grenades, so the lone wolf was forced to look on the Interwebz.

Too bad the geniuses couldn’t have figured out why moslem “student pilots” weren’t interested in learning how to land.
