Islamic suspects charged in alleged JFK airport terror plot
"Had the plot been carried out, it could have resulted in unfathomable damage, deaths, and destruction," US Attorney Roslynn Mauskopf said, telling reporters in New York the plan was "one of the most chilling plots imaginable".
"Any time you hit Kennedy, it is the most hurtful thing to the United States," he was alleged to have said. "They love John F. Kennedy like he's the man.. If you hit that, this whole country will be in mourning."
He was also alleged to have compared the plot to the September 11 attacks on New York's World Trade Centre in 2001. Other alleged plots believed to have been thwarted in New York since the September 11 attacks included plans to blow up a subway station and to bomb commuter train tunnels linking Manhattan to New Jersey.
Mama is nagging again – at my decision to go New York. I can understand her worries. We were already quite disturbed by the Virginia Tech massacre. Sigh.
