Desi Cartman Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 MIAMI (AP) — Two Pakistani-born brothers pleaded guilty Thursday to charges of plotting a terrorist explosives attack against New York City landmarks and assaulting two deputy U.S. marshals while in custody. The pleas were entered Thursday in Miami federal court by 32-year-old Sheheryar Alam Qazi and Raees Alam Qazi, 22. The pair has been in federal custody since late November 2012 after Raees Qazi returned from New York by bus following an aborted attack, possibly to include bombs made of common chemicals and Christmas tree lights. Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen Gilbert, reading from a factual statement signed by both brothers, said Raees Qazi had unsuccessfully attempted to enter Afghanistan to join Islamic extremists while visiting Pakistan in 2011. After that, she said, he decided to become a "lone wolf" who would find a way to attack the U.S. from within. In one meeting with a confidential FBI informant, Gilbert said, Raees Qazi said he had been in contact with al-Qaida operatives and added, "the leaders know what they are talking about so when they call on Muslims in the West to stay in the West, there's a reason for that." http://bigstory.ap.org/article/22424c8c282242bd80e26f8b7d46e4be/guilty-pleas-set-2-brothers-florida-terror-plot
G_B_ Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 why are these people so obsessed with new york city? If you look at what the IRA did during the "troubles" , they attacked Guildford a rich town within commuting distance to London. Everybody expected London to be hit. When the pubs were bombed in Guildford everybody **** a brick. It make not have caused economic damage but its when everybody started to worry about security.
Guldozer Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Good that they have been caught, but I wonder if the tile of the article would include 'Pakistani-born' if they actually did something good.
