Arrests in New York 'attack plot' (1 Viewer)

[Bold Lump]

I did let a little snort out myself when I heard the extra bit about a plot to take down military jets with a Surface to Air missle.

Then thought, oh my god! what if they did have SAMs? Turns out they only had the one fake after the FBI sold it to them in a sting.

Anyone have any salt?

What I want to know is how come plastic explosive counts as a "weapon of mass destruction"? Isn't that a rather loaded term?

 

[quasiquasi]

Maybe it's an American attempt to retroactively justify Iraq: "Of course Saddam had WMD - the Iraqi army had bombs!".

Turns out they got a few crucial details wrong in the initial reports.

Headline probably should have been 'Apolitical schizophrenic non-muslim manipulated by creepy FBI agent into buying explosives'

I think it should be legal for the black man to bomb the shite out of whatever he wants, considering the history of injustice.

Like I said, I'll be curious to hear their explanations.

I'd definitely like to know where he got that hoodie.

jaysus, you're like an oul one who can't deal with any changes in the status quo. or a stepford wife.

"how could you do a thing like that? just when i was going to give you coffee!"

Because you know just what I'm like.

you're right, i'm sorry. you're so damn individual it is nothing short of a mortal insult for anyone to assume anything about you.

lads, this is just what the axis of evil wants.

Urban Outfitters carry loads of this kitsch Oirish shite that's clearly made in North Korea or something as it consistently manages to be slightly wrong in some way.

The NYU kids and learner village hipsters rock around the place wearing it and speaking Cantonese and so on.

"My insurance wasn't good enough," said Lord McWilliams, 20, who has a deadly liver disease.
His brother, David Williams, wanted money "to speed up the process," McWilliams said. "Medicaid only goes so far."

He dismissed as "crazy" federal accusations that Williams was a Jew-hater who wanted to wage jihad.

McWilliams said the FBI informant who lured his brother and three other hapless petty criminals into a plot to blow up synagogues and shoot down a plane promised enough money to take care of his transplant.

"[My brother] told me, 'Don't worry, when you go to the doctor, tell them you got money,'" McWilliams said.
McWilliams, who has already had his spleen removed, said his brother told him he would have $20,000 for the operation.

Their mother, Elizabeth McWilliams, said her older son had told her he would be able to give her a wad of cash Thursday, which was the day after the terrorist plot was to have been carried out.

"He was a loving, sweet kid. He took his brother's illness worse than me," she said.

Lord McWilliams said the informant, who often drove his brother to the hospital to visit, even promised to take him to Universal Studios when he was well again.

"He said I didn't have to pay for nothing," McWilliams said.

Federal prosecutors say Williams, 28; James Cromitie, 44; Laguerre Payen, 27, and Onta Williams, 32, all of upstate Newburgh, were militant Muslims caught on tape railing against Jews and plotting to blow up Jewish temples.
They were arrested last Wednesday while planting what they thought were plastic explosives outside two Riverdale synagogues.

They also had a Stinger missile - phony, supplied by the FBI - with which they allegedly planned to shoot down a military plane. Family and friends say the four were down-on-their luck ex-cons who apparently thought they would be paid by the FBI informant.

In dozens of interviews around Newburgh, no one can remember hearing any of the four talk of Jews or jihad. They had converted to Islam in prison, but they drank beer, ate pork and rarely prayed, family members said
