NEW
YORK (AP) — A Bangladeshi man who came to the United States to wage jihad was
arrested in an elaborate FBI sting on Wednesday after attempting to blow up a
fake car bomb outside the Federal Reserve building in Manhattan, authorities
said.
Before
trying to carry out the alleged terrorism plot, Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan
Nafis went to a warehouse to help assemble a 1,000-pound bomb using inert
material, according to a criminal complaint. He also asked an undercover agent
to videotape him saying, "We will not stop until we attain victory or
martyrdom," the complaint said.
Agents
grabbed the 21-year-old Nafis — armed with a cellphone he believed was rigged
as a detonator — after he made several attempts to blow up the bomb inside a
vehicle parked next to the Federal Reserve, the complaint said.
Authorities
emphasized that the plot never posed an actual risk. However, they claimed the
case demonstrated the value of using sting operations to neutralize young
extremists eager to harm Americans.
"Attempting
to destroy a landmark building and kill or maim untold numbers of innocent
bystanders is about as serious as the imagination can conjure," said Mary
Galligan, acting head of the FBI's New York office. "The defendant faces
appropriately severe consequences."
Nafis
appeared in federal court in Brooklyn to face charges of attempting to use a
weapon of mass destruction and attempting to provide material support to
al-Qaida. Wearing a brown T-shirt and black jeans, he was ordered held without
bail and did not enter a plea. His defense attorney had no comment outside
court.
The
defendant "reported having connections" to al-Qaida, prosecutors
said. But there was no allegation that he received training or direction from
the terrorist group.
Prosecutors
say Nafis traveled to the U.S. in January to carry out an attack. In July, he
contacted a confidential informant, telling him he wanted to form a terror
cell, the criminal complaint said. Nafis was living in Queens.
In
further conversations, authorities said Nafis proposed several spots for his
attack, including the New York Stock Exchange — and that in a written letter
taking responsibility for the Federal Reserve job he was about to carry out, he
said he wanted to "destroy America." Other communications took place
through Facebook, the complaint said.
The
bank in New York, located at 33 Liberty St., is one of 12 branches around the
country that, along with the Board of Governors in Washington, make up the
Federal Reserve System that serves as the central bank of the United States. It
sets interest rates.
The
Federal Reserve is one of the most fortified buildings in the city, smack in
the middle of a massive security effort headed by the New York Police
Department where a network of thousands of private and police cameras watch for
suspicious activity.
The
department uses sophisticated programs that can search for suspicious activity,
like an object in one place for a long time, at the building, modeled after
London's "ring of steel." The analytic software also is designed to
take video and catalog it according to movements, shapes and colors, so
officers can set parameters to search the system for, say, a suspicious van.
The
Fed is also home to "the world's largest accumulation of gold,"
according to the bank's website. Dozens of governments and central banks store
a portion of their gold reserves in high-security vaults deep beneath the
building. In recent years, it held 216 million troy ounces of gold, or more
than a fifth of all global monetary gold reserves, making it a bigger bullion
depository than Fort Knox.
The
federal case was the latest where a terrorism plot against the city turned out
to be a sting operation.....

Ah, poor misguided Mr. Nafis. Set up by the FBI in another of their inane, tiresome, redundant, "show the world that we are really, no I mean REALLY doing something" operations to convince the American public that they are not just another of the endless bureaucracies wasting your tax dollars.
The true irony is that the Fed needs no assistance in blowing itself up [along with the rest of the country, no, make that the world]. Quazi Muhammad, at 21, has not yet learned patience. He does not know that Beranake and company have stuffed their rectums with QE3 and lit the fuze. The rest is inevitable...
I, am Spartacus
My thoughts exactly, another false flag, may it was something that went wrong, who knows maybe they were trying to blow themselves up in desperation.
To me, Such b.s. False flag written all over it! Did they say what type of vehicle he was to use?? Can one imagine this guy using a car with a thousand pounds in it! yea, he would get far cruising the city streets with his suspension blown out the cops would be all over him in seconds! Story just doesnt jive. So is that were our stolen gold is! Let`s post it on our website! Duh!!!!Fort knox, gold Nah!
