Not Methodists. “4 Charged In Plot To Blow Up Fuel Lines At JFK,” from WNBC:
NEW YORK — According to NewsChannel4’s Jonathan Dienst, three people were
arrested and one other was being sought Saturday in connection to a plot to blow up jet-fuel lines at John F. Kennedy International Airport, officials said.
Four people have been charged. One is in custody in New York. Three suspects in total are in custody. One is still at large in Trinidad.
According to sources, the suspects have been identified as: Russell Defreitas,
Abdul Nur, Kareem Ibrihim and Abdul Kadir.
Sources said a cargo worker at JFK allegedly began to plot attacking the US
last July or August. The cargo worker sought help in carrying out a plan and went to an FBI
informant, who gathered information about the plot.
The cargo worker is a U.S. citizen with roots in Guyana. Sources said he be a
former government official in Guyana.
Sources said counter-terrorism officials have been following the plot for a
little less than one year.
Sources said the plot involved a plan to blow up a BuckEye jet-fuel pipeline at
JFK setting off a potential massive explosion. BuckEye provides fuel to all three NYC-area
airports.
Sources said the plot involved putting explosives inside the fuel pipeline but
realized that “it was not technically feasible.”
Sources said the planning stages of the plot involved surveillance of JFK
airport as well as scouting out US properties in Guyana for possible attacks.
