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.

5. now saying this has been in the making for some time now.

[aquart]

11. So why arrest today? Did someone buy an explosive?

Anything?

[snappyturtle]

48. It's time to arrest today.....if this turns out to be another

"dream" by a bunch of guys we'll know it's another fear factor event.....after all the administration needs some positive press! I'm sorry but I don't believe most of this stuff anymore. When they have the proof I'll listen.

Wonder what the Sunday morning news programs will be talking about? Should be talking about the Palast/Conyers meeting and the rogue e-mails, the link of Rove to the Alabama Governor/U.S. attorney story, or all the repukes jumping ship,or immigration or Susan Ralston asking for immunity or more about Tim Griffin... but now with this terrorist event I think those stories will be swept under the rug....again.

Lions, and tigers and bears Oh MY! What color alert are we under or is that obsolete?

[Chulanowa]

59. We are at Ernie. I repeat, we are at an Ernie level alert!

[mconvente]

62. LOL!!!! n/t

[tidy_bowl]

65. Sometimes....

....there really is a terrorist attack in the planning. Just saying.

[tanyev]

6. ACK! What about Guinea pigs?

Are 'Murkins unknowingly protecting and feeding terrorist sympathizers??????

[spotbird]

9. That's embarrassing.

Damn spell check.

16. Whew!! I thought I was going to have to use some robust interrogation techniques on Snuffles.

[spotbird]

20. I found it!

I hope it's right this time.

[napi21]

7. Press conference shortly. One arrest of an Al Quaieda wannabe.

All CNN reported this time was that the attack was aimed at ground ops at JFK and had been planned for quite some time!

[AngryAmish]

8. I smell more Rethuglikkkan bullshit

There was no plot. These are dupes.

[spotbird]

10. Lot of news is leaking through the TB guy

obstruction. Time for terra.

14. What TB guy obstruction? What have I missed?

Help me here.

17. One example of a story not

There is a long list.

[aquart]

28. If it's in Time, it's in the news.

You're right. That's a bit of a biggie.

[INDIA]

39. Are you psychic? Maybe we should wait past the first 6 hours to make decisions? n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

50. My first thought was

It's about time for a terror alert. It's been awhile since the last one.

[napi21]

13. Press conference at 1PM est by FBI. Several arrested.

One in NYC and several in the Carribean.

Joint Press Conference by FBI & NY terrorism task force.

Now they don't know what the target was and it has been in the works for quite some time!

[LiberalFighter]

68. FBI stopped a terrorist attack? Really?

The speakers at the press conference were numnuts!

[still_one]

18. so does that mean the surge isn't working?

didn't they tell us if we fight them over thre we won't have to fight them here?

The fact is that by attacking a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, has started the ball rolling that will involve us in unending war unless we can get rid of those that led us into this disaster

The problems we have today, require a new way of thinking, and those that caused those problems will not be the ones who solve them. They neither have the capacity or desire to do so

We need a new way of thinking, and that is definitely not provided by the republicans

In fact unless the Democrats do something to stop this madness, the republicans are setting up so we will be in Iraq for years to come

It is pretty bleak the situation we are in, since Congress essentially caved in on the troop funding bill

[spotbird]

19. No, no, not at all.

It means they are effectively protecting us.

[still_one]

23. Do you have some swamp land in Arizonia for sale also? /nt

[spotbird]

25. Nope, but if you're interested,

I do have some oceanfront property for sale in Indiana. The location is a well-kept secret, so if you send cash, I'll pass along the details.

[still_one]

61. Thanks for making me smile /nt

[LiberalFighter]

69. I thought Dan Quayle had purchased all of that property

[spotbird]

70. Aren't there rules about outing people at DU?

I'm reporting you to the administrators to request your account be closed, and the comment which identifies me be deleted. The level of vindictiveness found in some people here is just despicable.

[dethl]

21. And all the major news channels are having a collective orgasm

Gotta keep those Epsilons scared and dumb!

[ohio2007]

34. stories like this keeps the private MSM advertisers happy

grab some viers, they watch comercials.......they remain glued to the best "experts opinions" being spun

[calteacherguy]

22. I'm glad they were apprehended and I hope they get a fair trial

not a Guantanamo Bay type trial, to determine if these allegations are true.

[dethl]

24. Unfortunately we all know that won't happen

eom

[otherlander]

26. Steven Colbert predicted this, remember?

http://www.ifilm.com/video/2819112

[MasonJar]

27. This is at least the 3rd group of goofballs that had no realistic plan

to be arrested. It is another "Cry wolf" episode probably. Keep an edge on fear.

[ixion]

29. exactly...breaking news: NOTHING HAPPENED

four guys with CRIMINAL aspirations were foiled before they could do anything. Not really much news there, IMO.

[ohio2007]

32. Maybe they had relatives deported recently in the recent alien roundup.

What are the odds a few sub paid illegals could play into all this?
Should no more in an hour

[Tellurian]

30. under surveillance for 6 mos? 3 suspected..arrested (1 ) other suspects overseas..

question; if they were under surveillance for 6 mos..why all tentative info?

Like a Chinese Fire drill...all agencys claiming jurisdiction.. what a mess!

[rocktivity]

106. DING DING DING! Tellurian, you're our grand prize winner!

if they were under surveillance for 6 mos...why all tentative info?

Sounds like a replay of the last two "foiled" terrorist plots--is this based on the overactive imagination of an FBI infiltrator?

31. disgruntled employee shooting his mouth off ?

and now he's going to GITMO

[AnotherMother4Peace]

33. I'm skeptical. This is probably a diversion from the protests at the G-8 summit

[krispos42]

35. Hmmmm.... I'd argue with you...

but you're likely right!

[Corgigal]

36. NY terrorism task force

is a much better outfit then the FBI. I knew something was up because I mailed my daughter a package to Manhattan, she will be living in Juilliard for a month, and UPS had to open all packages being mailed to Manhattan. That occurred on Tuesday.

My kid is flying into NYC tomorrow am. I trust NYC on terrorism more then this Federal Govt.

[Chovexani]

37. Truer words

My hometown authorities actually know what the fuck they're doing with regards to terrorism. 'Cause, you know, they've actually dealt with it before. Local authorities were instrumental in getting those fuckwits who bombed the WTC the first time around put away.

I feel safer in NY than any other major city.

[ohio2007]

44. UPS looking for contraband?

The USPO considers it a federal offense to open parcel or anybody else mail. But UPS isn't the USPO either so I guess it's ok.

[Corgigal]

63. We arrived with the packaged sealed

UPS told us they had to open it and look inside. Everything going to Manhattan had to visually inspected. Hubby asked if the Post Office is doing this too, clerk smiled and said, well not in front of you.

We had no problem with it. However that tipped us off that something was up.

[Hawaii Hiker]

38. This plan was more inspirational than operational

meaning, they didn't have the resources, skills, manpower, etc. to carry out their acts....

But I'm sure the Republican spin bull-shit machine will act like they just prevented WW III...Republicans want all the credit every time a plot gets foiled, yet, they want to bare no blame for 9/11, they want it both ways....

[ohio2007]

42. New York Times article; was he ready to practice what he preached?

Nothing worse than a bitter ex politician



snip
The plot involved a former airport worker in his 60s, who is a United States citizen of Guyanese descent and lives in New York, and a former member of the Guyanese parliament, who is also an imam.

snip

...the former airport worker had made several trips to Guyana and one trip to Trinidad and Tobago to try to get support for the plot.

The airport worker sought the support of a Muslim rebel group in Trinidad and Tobago that attacked the parliament there in 1990.

While it does not appear that the four men were close to achieving their goal, law enforcement officials said, their ambition was to detonate fuel tanks ......

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/02/nyregion/02cnd-plot.h...

I had a hunch it would be reported a disgruntled employee was shooting off his mouth.
Maybe he will be sent back down to the Caribbean ? There is a place in Cuba

[caligirl]

40. Chicken little.> More failure in Iraq: grander plots 'uncovered in planning stages' here.

This is bush trying to prove the war in Iraq is needed, look for more of these in proportion to the failure of his policy in Iraq.

[Boxerfan]

43. Man...I'd hate to be a brown skinned loudmouth 'bout now...

These "terror" plots are so well timed its friggin laughable. Did they have to buy these guys shoes also??

53. Jihad boots for everyone! nt

[cosmicdot]

45. wonder if they know Bernie Kerik?

Ghouliani's '911' associate/friend, taser profiteer; and, almost "Homeland" Security head

It's just a coincidence Kerik had a consulting job with Guyana in 2006. I'm sure his consulting job was to 'overhaul Guyana's police force' and nothing else, just as they said. He apparently quit recently because of a federal investigation.

Coincidences happen all the time, so loosen the tinfoil (my supply ran out years ago).

"Sources said the plot involved putting explosives inside the fuel pipeline but realized that "it was not technically feasible.""

Why am I not surprised?

54. I doubt that it is impossible

'fighters' in Iraq are always blowing up piplines so placing a charge inside a pipe is moot.

109. It seems it isn't feasible to

ignite the fuel the way they were planning.

The insurgents blow up the pipelines to stop the flow not to ignite it (I would guess).

55. FBI Feared JFK Plotters Linked to Top Terrorist

FBI agents feared but never confirmed the three men accused of plotting to attack John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York were linked to one of the most wanted al Qaeda leaders, Adnan Shukrijumah, known to have operated out of Guyana and Trinidad.

Officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com that they heard repeated references to "Adnan" during the extensive wiretaps conducted on the suspects' telephone conversations, including calls to Guyana and Trinidad.

There is a $5 million reward for information on Shukrijumah, who officials consider extremely dangerous because of the years he spent living in the Miami area and his known ties to al Qaeda. Some of the 9/ll hijackers attended a south Florida mosque run by Shukrijumah's now deceased father.

Shukrijumah left the United States just a few months before September 2001.

75. Authorities charge 4 in NYC terror plot

Source: Associated Press

NEW YORK - Federal authorities announced Saturday they had broken up a suspected Muslim terrorist cell planning a "chilling" attack to destroy John F. Kennedy International Airport, kill thousands of people and trigger an economic catastrophe by blowing up a jet fuel artery that runs through populous residential neighborhoods.

Three men, one of them a former member of Guyana's parliament, were arrested and one was being sought in Trinidad as part of a plot that authorities said they had been tracked for more than a year and was foiled in the planning stages.

"The devastation that would be caused had this plot succeeded is just unthinkable," U.S. Attorney Roslynn R. Mauskopf said at a news conference, calling it "one of the most chilling plots imaginable."

In an indictment charging the four men, one of them is quoted as saying the foiled plot would "cause greater destruction than in the Sept. 11 attacks," destroying the airport, killing several thousand people and destroying parts of New York's borough of Queens, where the line runs underground.

76. Balderdash - Hype Hype Hype.

For a couple of years after 9/11, the jet fuel tanks for Dulles International Airport (IAD) loomed just a few yards from busy Route 28, protected by nothing more than a chain link fence.

Now there is a concrete wall between the tanks and the highway. If Jet fuel tanks could be blown up that easily, don't you think that wall would have been in place within a week after a plane departing from that same airport crashed into the Pentagon?

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad - Two men allegedly involved in a plot to attack New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport were in custody in Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday and the police commissioner said authorities were scouring the Caribbean country for a third suspect still at large.

Trevor Paul, the top police official in the twin-island nation off Venezuela's coast, identified the arrested suspects as Abdul Kadir, 55, a Guyanese Muslim and former member of the South American nation's Parliament, and Kareem Ibrahim, a 56-year-old from Trinidad.

Both were arrested on U.S. warrants and are suspected of involvement in a plan to blow up a fuel line feeding the airport, Paul told a news conference.

• Suspect's wife denies he was part of any plot
• Suspect compares plot with 9/11 in wiretapped remarks, transcript shows

Adjust font size:
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Four men have been charged with conspiring to blow up jet fuel supply tanks and pipelines at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Homeland Security sources said there is no current threat at the airport and the attack as planned was "not technically feasible."

The alleged plot did not target airplane flights, officials said.

A wiretap transcript given to CNN by the FBI indicates the plotters targeted the airport because of the popularity its namesake, John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963.

"Anytime you hit Kennedy, it is the most hurtful thing to the United States. To hit John F. Kennedy, wow ... they love JFK -- he's like the man," former JFK airport cargo worker Russell Defreitas allegedly said in a telephone conversation monitored by the FBI. ................

Group tied to extremists in South America, Caribbean
The Justice statement said the men began planning the assault on January 6. A complaint alleges that the plot tapped into an international network of Muslim extremists from the United States, Guyana and Trinidad.

"The defendants had the connections to present their terrorist plot to radical groups in South America and the Caribbean, including senior leadership of Jamaat Al Muslimeen ('JAM'), which was responsible for a deadly coup attempt in Trinidad in 1990," said Mark J. Mershon, assistant director-in-charge of the FBI's New York field office.

"As the complaint alleges, defendants Kadir and Nur were longtime associates of JAM leaders. Defendant Kareem was also preparing to send an emissary overseas to present the plan to extremist networks there when law enforcement stepped in to disrupt it," Mershon said.

An official described the suspects as "al Qaeda wannabes."

87. Authorities Foil Terror Plot Against JFK Airport

Source: CBS

Russell Defreitas, a U.S. citizen native to Guyana and retired airport employee was the mastermind behind a plot to destroy John F. Kennedy International Airport, kill thousands of people and trigger an economic catastrophe by blowing up a jet fuel artery that runs through populous residential neighborhoods, authorities said Saturday.

Defreitas developed his hatred for America a decade ago while working as a cargo handler at JFK airport. While working at the airport, he said he saw military parts being shipped to Israel that he thought would be used to kill Muslims. Last August, he began planning an attack along with three other Muslim men, one of which was an FBI informant. The FBI says they have recorded several conversations between the two during an 18-month investigation. Sources tell CBS 2 that on Friday, Defreitas told the informant he believed the authorities may be on to him, prompting the feds to move in.

Three of the men were arrested and one was being sought in Trinidad on Saturday. In an indictment charging the four men, one of them is quoted as saying the plot would “cause greater destruction than in the Sept. 11 attacks.”

“Anytime you hit Kennedy, it is the most hurtful thing to the United States,” he said on a recording made by a police informant. “They love John F. Kennedy like he’s the man ... It’s like you can kill the man twice.”

Yet another massive terra attack foiled. I'm sure we sure be on our knees thanking our glorious leaders for having the forsight to record all our phone conversations to protect us against rogue cargo handlers like this.

[Double T]

88. Excuse my skepticism.

[glowing]

89. Though this has been posted several times already... I'll add to this

post. I think their is a suspicious link with all these FBI guys. How much of the plot is an origination of the pissed off "terrorist" and how much is inflamed by the FBI guy who promises he/she can make it happen?

And I do think it is a real shame that we are sending so many weapons made in America to be shipped off to other countries to hurt people. Its time to stop making money on weapons trade. Its time to put the whole machine out of business.

Sure
His lawyer will scream "Freedom of Speech" and the MSM talking heads will discuss it among themselves but;
You are not allowed to falsely scream FIRE in a movie theater and you are not allowed make idle threats to the general public.
ie, school bomb threats are no difference than aviation bomb threats.

[zulchzulu]

92. Fast-forward the story a day or two from now

In the C18 section of most papers:

Russell Defreitas, it turns out, had made idle threats at a local bar a couple years ago. He and his three friends had no real experience in explosives training and would not have been able to drive onto the JFK airport premises with a truck full of explosive gas, since that process is already heavily monitored.

Go Homeland Security!

100. Only a bully never asks "WHY"?

Why weren't the Chinese who tampered with our pet food supply called terrorists?
Why weren't the Texas boys who blew up an apartment building by mixing the very same 'liquids', called terrorists right before the 'BRITISH TERRORISTS' were planning to mix the same chemicals.

I'm so sick of watching Colonialists jump on the 'terrorist' bandwagon whenever they hear angry 'dark skinned' people talk of revenge.

Got news for you Hillary, and Hoyer and Lieberman! (Who now sound like Bush in their joint use of 'terror or '9-11' in every stump speech).

There are now more white, brown, yellow, and GREEN people who hate America's policies and their Right-wing course than you can possibly imagine.

And until Congress finally listens to them explain WHY, and acts to correct the imbalances and injustices responsibe for creating such worldwide hate, they doom our children to a hellish future.

Nope, I have to wait from someone I believe in to believe stuff like this - whether or not it's factual.

They brainwashed me into not believing them. My disbelief started sometime after 44 years ago when John F. Kennedy was murdered by our government with a little help from their friends.

You know - the friends who profit, the friends who are rewarded, the friends who keep getting pardoned, the friends who resurrect each other in key jobs, the friends who become more determined with each year - even going so far as revealing agendas as in the PBAC. The ones the media like and support and live lies for.

Trinidad is the only place in the western hemisphere where Islamists have tried to sieze power and institute an Islamic state. It happened in 1990. I was in Port of Spain not long after the coup attempt. The parilment building was pretty shot up.

I have used JFK many, many times. I live about 30 miles away. Can you say another case of "the gang who couldn't shoot straight" meant to place FEAR in the hearts of the public?

114. NPR reppots that the informant was looking for a sentence reduction

Nothing to see here, move along!

In the Kennedy airport case, the informant was a twice-convicted drug dealer who found himself in the midst of a terrorist plot conceived as more devastating than the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. However, authorities say the plan was not well developed or far along.
