Latest on the JFK Terror Plot
CBN News
June 4, 2007
As you may have heard by now, over the weekend, federal officials announced the breakup of a major terrorist plot targeting New York's JFK Airport.
CBN News has the goods here. In case you live on a deserted island, or were riveted by Cavs/Pistons Game 6 (to say that LeBron James is the real deal would be an understatement) here's a brief summary:
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 and another a U.S. citizen, 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."

Pat and I hit several points in our interview. The two most intriguing, in my opinion, are the possible involvement of Al-Qaeda fugitive Adnan al-Shukrijumah and the fact that these amateur terrorists (or "wanna-be's" as some commentators called them this weekend) can still have plenty of deadly effect, despite their frequent bouts of incompetence (see last month's Fort Dix arrests).
Remember: it doesn't take a genius to walk into a shopping mall with an automatic weapon and start blasting away in the name of jihad.
