An update on this story. “FBI arrest four in alleged plot to bomb Bronx synagogues, shoot down plane,” by Michael Daly, Alison Gendar and Helen Kennedy for the New York Daily News, May 21 (thanks to all who sent this in):

“They wanted to make a statement,” a law enforcement source said. “They were filled with rage and wanted to take it out on what they considered the source of all problems in America – the Jews.”

“I hate those motherf—–s, those f—ing Jewish bastards. . . . I would like to get [destroy] a synagogue.”
The men allegedly parked car bombs wired to cell phones outside the Riverdale Temple and nearby Riverdale Jewish Center. They were also heading to Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, Orange County, when the law swooped in on them….
