Arrests have been made. No link yet. May involve former or current employees who were Guyanese AQ sympathizers.

On edit:

They planned to bring explosives into JFK to sabotage the fuel lines, thereby cause a massive explosion. Authorities believe the suspects were serious, but they don’t know how well-developed the plan was. Only one suspect in custody, the other conspirators may be overseas.

On second edit, from NBC:

"Law enforcement officials said the plot may involved a former airport worker, according to NewsChannel4's Jonathan Dienst, Officials said the plot may involve four people plotting to set off explosive devices on airport grounds.

A news conference is scheduled for 1 p.m. "
