Details of a plan targeting New York's financial institutions from the New York Daily News, with thanks to T.
A terrorism plot that sparked last summer's Orange Alert envisioned turning the Citigroup Center into "cutthroat shrapnel," according to a report yesterday.In reconnaissance plans, accused terrorist Dhiren Barot, currently jailed in Britain, called the building a glass house whose panels could be turned into "a potential flying piece of cutthroat shrapnel," according to a CBS News report.
Barot carefully cased the landmark tower on Lexington Ave. and E. 53rd St. down to the smallest detail - even describing how the toilets could be used as a place to assemble a bomb.
"The documents were very detailed," NYPD Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne told the Daily News. "They included, for example, how many seats there were around the conference table in the board room of the New York Stock Exchange [which he also scouted]. The level of detail showed they had engaged in serious reconnaissance."
Barot, 33, whose alleged Al Qaeda alias was Abu Eisa Al Hindi, checked out financial centers in Newark and Washington in addition to Citigroup and the Stock Exchange. A 50-page printout from his computer obtained by CBS revealed he was very thorough...
This Dhiren Barot or Abu blah blah al Hindi is a born Hindu who converted to Islam with plans to terrorize and kill his own people. He should be turned over to the RSS (the extreme right wing of the Hindu party) in India. I'm sure they will teach him a lesson he will never forget!
Damn traitor!! There's nothing I despise more than traitors like Johnny Jihad (John Walker Lindh), Dhiren Bharot and Jose Padilla. At least the Arabs terrorists have an excuse that they were born in a brainwashed society. These guys have no excuse!
I hope the NYPD units have gone through and completed their muslim sensativity training.
I just don't want them to hurt the feelings of a muslim trying to kill Americans. Think of the scandal....
The above sarcasm in the daylight.
I want to know when are we going to start executions for treason and spys?
What does the enemy have to do to recieve our attention with the ultimate sentence.
