Another FBI inspired bomb plot

I would have been impressed if I hadn't known the FBI has been trying to frame up Muslims several times in the past.

After so many years of trying, they finally found new dupes willing to do some mayhem. Of course these feeble suspects probably could not get any weapons on their own except when supplied by the FBI informant (terror coach) and I would not be surprised either if said informant also selected the alleged targets - a synagogue and military aircraft.

It's all too good to be true, to convenient, and too much like the previous "terror incident". The FBI did not bother to change the script at all only this time they got a Muslim cast rather than those obscure cultists they previously cultivated into play terrorists.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Four men were arrested Wednesday for an alleged plot to bomb a New York synagogue and Jewish community center, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.

The men also wanted to use surface-to-air missiles to fire at U.S. military planes, according to a criminal complaint filed in White Plains, New York.

James Cromitie, David Williams, Onta Williams and Laguerre Payen are accused of plotting to detonate explosives near a synagogue in the Riverdale section of Bronx, New York.

Each man had at least one alias, according to the office. Three of them are U.S. citizens and one is a Haitian, a statement from the New York governor's office said, citing the U.S. Attorney's office

The charges are based on information from an FBI informant, the attorney's office said in a written statement.

The statement said the informant met with Cromitie in June 2008 in Newburgh, New York. During that meeting, Cromitie said his parents live in Afghanistan, that he was angry over the U.S. war there and that he expressed interest in "doing something to America."

The four men began meeting with the informant at a home equipped with concealed video and audio equipment, plotting to bomb the synagogue and Jewish community center, the statement said.

They also conducted surveillance, including photographs, of an Air National Guard base where they wanted to blow up planes, the statement said. The informant provided the men with a surface-to-air guided missile and C-4 plastic explosives, none of which could actually be used.

"While the weapons provided to the defendants by the cooperating witness were fake, the defendants thought they were absolutely real," acting U.S. Attorney Lev L. Dassin said in the statement.

The charges include conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction in the United States and conspiracy to acquire and use anti-aircraft missiles. The charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison.

The defendants are expected to appear Thursday in federal court in White Plains, New York.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, in a written statement, congratulated the law-enforcement agencies that made the arrests.

"While the bombs these terrorists attempted to plant tonight were -- unbeknownst to them -- fake, this latest attempt to attack our freedoms shows that the homeland security threats against New York City are sadly all too real and underscores why we must remain vigilant in our efforts to prevent terrorism," he said.

Gov. David Paterson said the case shows the threat of terrorism in New York is "persistent."

"The threat of terrorism affects all of our communities, regardless of race, religion, or ethnicity," he said.
