Feds Arrest Man Plotting Attack On New York Fed
Update: we now have the suspect's name: Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, who in addition to Plan A had Plan B: "If Nafis felt his attack was about to be thwarted by cops, he would invoke the back-up plan, which involved a suicide bombing operation"
From CNN
Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, 21, was arrested for allegedly attempting to detonate what he thought was a 1,000-pound bomb at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in Manhattan, the Department of Justice and a U.S. attorney's office said in a press release.
* * *
We now have some more detail about the plot to blow up the reserve bank from a press release that breaks down the criminal complaint filed against Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis:
The Bangladeshi national allegedly came to the United States in January to carry out a terror attack on U.S. soil and said he had overseas connections to al-Qaeda. As he attempted to recruit others to join his cell, he tried to recruit someone who turned out to be an FBI source, the criminal complaint says.
Nafis initially had a few targets in mind, according to the complaint, including "a high-ranking U.S. official and the New York Stock Exchange." In the end, Nafis settled on the New York Federal Reserve Bank, federal officials said.
"In a written statement intended to claim responsibility for the terrorist bombing of the Federal Reserve Bank on behalf of al-Qaeda, Nafis wrote that he wanted to 'destroy America' and that he believed the most efficient way to accomplish this goal was to target America’s economy," the Justice Department press release said. "In this statement, Nafis also included quotations from 'our beloved Sheikh Osama bin Laden' to justify the fact that Nafis expected that the attack would involve the killing of women and children."
The "explosives that he allegedly sought and attempted to use had been rendered inoperable by law enforcement and posed no threat to the public," according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Loretta E. Lynch.
The plot came to light as an FBI undercover agent posed as an al-Qaeda facilitator, federal authorities say.
Nafis asked the undercover agent for 50-pound bags of what he thought were explosives, and then worked on putting together an explosive device, according to prosecutors.
"Nafis purchased components for the bomb’s detonator and conducted surveillance for his attack on multiple occasions in New York City’s financial district in lower Manhattan," a Justice Department press release describing the criminal complaint said. “Throughout his interactions with the undercover agent, Nafis repeatedly asserted that the plan was his own and was the reason he had come to the United States."
He met an undercover agent that supplied him with what he thought were explosives on Wednesday morning. After meeting up, they both traveled in a van to a warehouse, the Justice Department said.
That’s apparently when Nafis told the agent he had a "Plan B."
If Nafis felt his attack was about to be thwarted by cops, he would invoke the back-up plan, which involved a suicide bombing operation, the criminal complaint alleges.
When the pair arrived at the warehouse, Nafis began putting together what he thought was a 1,000-pound bomb inside the van. Then they drove together to the target: The New York Federal Reserve Bank. As they drove, he armed the purported by putting together the detonator and the explosives, the criminal complaint says.
The van was then parked next to the bank. The pair went to a nearby hotel, where Nafis apparently recorded a video statement meant to be shown to the American public in connection with the attack.
"We will not stop until we attain victory or martyrdom," he said, according to the criminal complaint.
He then tried, several times unsuccessfully, to detonate the device, which was actually inert explosives.
Nafis was then arrested.
A good portion of the sting operation was caught on tape, according to a source familiar with the investigation.

NBC 4 New York has learned that federal authorities have arrested a man they say was plotting to attack the Federal Reserve in New York City. The man is in custody in New York. Sources tell NBC 4 New York that he lives on Long Island. Law enforcement officials stress that the plot was a sting operation monitored by the FBI and NYPD and the public was never at risk.
- FBI, NYPD ARREST SUSPECTED TERRORIST IN NYC PLOT
- SUSPECTED TERRORIST IN PLOT TO ATTACK FEDERAL RESERVE OF NY
- FBI SAYS TWO FBI AGENTS ACTED AS `ACCOMPLICES' TO SUSPECT
- MARY GALLIGAN OF FBI NY OFFICE, CONFIRMS FED BOMB PLOT ARREST
- FBI PROVIDED DEFENDANT WITH FAKE EXPLOSIVES IN STING OPERATION
More:
According to the report, the suspect drove a van he believed to be loaded with explosives from Long Island to Lower Manhattan. He then placed the van near the Federal Reserve and was then arrested by the FBI and NYPD.
The suspect, whom sources said is from the Jamaica Queens section of New York City, is currently in custody in New York. Sources say he was acting alone.
Some more:
Middle Eastern man parked van he thought was filled with explosives outside N.Y. Fed this morning, then walked to nearby Millennium hotel and tried to set off bomb with cell-phone detonator, New York Post reports, citing unidentified law enforcement sources.
Suspect posted about Jihad online 3 months ago, told FBI agent he met online that he wanted to blow up
And "New York terror suspect is a 21-year-old Bangladeshi citizen who traveled to the U.S. in January to carry out terror attack."
At least all that tungsten gold lying on the Manhattan bedrock is safe and sound and John McClane will not be called out of retirement just yet.
It is unclear yet if Quazi hated America for its Federal Reserve or its collection of weapons grade Tungsten.

He's going to brake in and only find rooms full of servers and a commanding robot voice saying HELLO DAVE..........

HAL: I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave.
Dave: You are going to get what you don't want to pay for, HAL...
So. Would a cyber-terrorist try turning all the '1' bits into '0' bits?
He was just looking for his "FAIR SHARE" that Obama has promised.

Terrorist or Patriot? Do we salute him or shoot him?
I get your meaning, but would phrase it differently.
What is a patriot, but a nationalist, or some other brand of idealist? An idealist holds his dogma in highest regard-- higher, even, than reality.
Shoot terrorists and patriots alike, for all I care. Grant them their ultimate wish... for martyrdom. I'll not lament any rotting corpses of those who sought virtue, as such.
"Terrorist, or hero?"
That's better.

Write him in for President.
Once upon a time a person had to be a 'natural-born citizen' to qualify to be president.
i also hear he's persian, most likely khomeini himself.
During my first protest against the Federal reserve in Cleveland, we had an individual that came to our group and he became "friends" with me. In fact, I drove him to the rally with me and we had drinks after the rally. Long story short, he called me one day after Congress passed some other crazy bailout or stimulous or something that I cannot recall at the moment. When we were talking on the phone, he said to me, "You know Congress isn't going to listen and that it is time to take matters in our own hands. I have a friend who has access to military grade weapons and explosives. You in?"
I simply replied, that I do NOT condone violence unless in self-defense. I would surely defend myself when attacked but would never provoke it. Additionally, I let him know that once the fiat money issue is understood by the masses, the days of the pilfering would be over (a little niave not that I look back it it.
After that conversation, he made off with $300 from our End the Fed promotional material fund and we never heard from him again.
Plant to demonize the movement or a true nutcase?
I think it is self defense after being attacked by ZIRP and QE infinity.
Sounds like you saved yourself from a NDAA camp for now.....
Nut or Undercover... (is that redundant?)
That's the problem these days, uncovered nuts...

Good song btw, just another Bruce Willis movie.
Probably the same guy who worked the sap from Long Island.
He'll get a promotion now.

Did he whine and cry a lot?
Seem very insecure, uncomfortable in his own skin?
Unsure of himself?
Seem to be longing for public aggrandizement?
Seem a bit skittish?
Said his power animal was a weasel?
Well then, maybe....
The guy was a FED.
...and how Spanky!
A sting operation. by NYPD. Sounds familiar for some reason?
At least they didn't let shit blow up this time, al 93?

FBI Special Agent John Anticev: But, uh, basically nothing has changed. I'm just telling you for my own sake that nothing, that this isn't a salary, that it's—you know. But you got paid regularly for good information. I mean the expenses were a little bit out of the ordinary and it was really questioned. Don't tell Nancy I told you this. [Nancy Floyd is another FBI Special Agent who worked with Emad A. Salem in his informant capacity.]
FBI undercover agent Emad A. Salem: Well, I have to tell her of course.
Anticev: Well then, if you have to, you have to.
Salem: Yeah, I mean because the lady was being honest and I was being honest and everything was submitted with a receipt and now it's questionable.
Anticev: It's not questionable, it's like a little out of the ordinary.
Salem: Okay. Alright. I don't think it was. If that's what you think guys, fine, but I don't think that because we was start already building the bomb which is went off in the World Trade Center. It was built by supervising supervision from the Bureau and the D.A. and we was all informed about it and we know that the bomb start to be built. By who? By your confidential informant. What a wonderful, great case!
Anticev: Well.
Salem: And then he put his head in the sand and said "Oh, no, no, that's not true, he is son of a bitch." [Deep breath.] Okay. It's built with a different way in another place and that's it.
Anticev: No, don't make any rash decisions. I'm just trying to be as honest with you as I can.
Salem: Of course, I appreciate that.
Anticev: And as far as the payments go, and everything like that, they're there. I guarantee you that they are there
You should have turned him in to the Feds, to find out his status as well as to do the right thing. See something, say something, you know.

I was sure this was an Onion article that was going to link to a photoshop image of Ron Paul in an orange jump suit and handcuffs.
"The public was never at risk" ... HUH? ... The criminal operation is still operating, morons! The public has been "at risk" since 1913.
They were just clarifying that the FED is a PRIVATE bank, not a public one.

Herr Gruber, please return to the movie set.
CIA false flag
Bush's fault
Once again, the FBI gave him the explosives. Another day, another case of FBI entrapment. Next fake news story please?
Running stories like this reinforces dumb little sheeple into believing whatever the fuck MSM says. It doesn't matter if the whole damn thing was a setup or hoax to begin with. The takeaway message for the average dipshit is "PEOPLE BAD. FED GOOD. FED GOOOOD."
Let's see.
It starts with sales, then marketing, followed by brand management, graduates to perceptions management then culminates with propaganda.
Propaganda.
Achieved so readily when a press is entirely complicit in the deceit perpetrated upon the readership/public.

They are at the point now where they can wholly make this shit up and people will accept it.

"Law enforcement officials stress that the plot was a sting operation monitored by the FBI and NYPD and the public was never at risk."
Sting operation by the FBI? Sniff, sniff. I smell entrapment. Typical method of operation by the Feds. Pick a patsy, supply him with fake explosives and presto! This has False Flag written all over it. These Douche Bag Feds continue to use the same play book over and over. They must really believe the public is this stupid.
A 5 minute conversation at the gas station will validate their premise of stupidity.
Idiocracy Forward!
Hey, give them some credit here. They've succesfully apprehended nearly every terrorist they've manufactured!
I mean, some might point out that they provided the bomb that blew up the WTC parking garage, but hey, how else you gonna prosecute a war of terror?
well every one except AL-CIA-DA.
Seriously, that puts them way ahead of the ATF! "Now that the Mexican drug cartels have the weapons, we just wait for them to kill a bunch of people." Makes the FBI look brilliant, by comparison.
...They weren't gonna let him thru the tollbooth but one observer said that a sharp dressed person talked with the tollbooth operator and got him thru even though he didn't have the correct change and seemed a little incoherent.
Authorities dismissed the story about the "Sharp Dressed" guy who assisted in getting him thru the toll booth.
Now in other news, Baby Boo Boo..........
Can't blame the guy, if I had to fly to Detroit I would set my balls on fire too!

Wow that article is funny. Sting is synonymous with setup is synonymous with false flag. Demonizing here we gooooooo!
It is not very hard to foil your own plot! (again)
Booyah, Motherfuckers
Just like the manufacturing of Hal-Kad-Dah and the Hay-rab Spring.
Worked like a greased Pigfucking party.
My question would be: does this terrorist look like Jeremy Irons from Die Hard With A Vengeance ?
Horrible , just Horrible.........
What hast thou Federal Reserve ever done to deservith such treatment.....
They, are, our friends.....
What??? Sting got caught planning to attack the FED???
Free, free, set him free.
His name was Robert Paulson!
Andrej Ezra Pfund Jackson IV ?
Is it Dudley? Bernake? Spitzer? Weiner?
Michael?!?
My first thoughts too. hah
The other was JW in FL.
Did the catch him with the new federal reserve private police force?
hey doc, you hear from fonz?? i believe he lives on long island......cant be......................
He pointed this out a little while ago on a previous post....so I think we can rule him out...unless it was a clever distraction.

"the public was never at risk."
We weren't worried. He's one of us.
Phew! Awesome that a terrorist plot was thwarted at coincidentally the world's largest foreign owned, non-governmental bank. Even Osama Bin Laden/Al Qaida/Other CIA founded organizations knew better than to launch a terrorist attack on the Fed.. All is well!
Why would someone interested in harming th US attack the Fed, which is doing such a wonderful job of harming the US all by itself?
And on the top of it is owned by foreigners?
Our Govt is getting desperate, the End is near................

Give this man a medal.
I would personally donate money (real, not fiat) to the people that can cause the repeal of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913!
People need to show their displeasure on Woodrow Wilson's grave for pushing through the 1913 Federal Reserve Act! May he rot in hell!
Sad to say but whenever I see "FBI" involved with anything I think: 'frame up or cover up."
It's good to have that kind of trust in your nations secret police.
yep...read "1000 Years for Revenge" by Peter Lance.
Great book detailing the complete failures of the FBI to stop the 1st and 2nd WTC events.

The only real threat to the Fed is buying gold and not chasing equities. Wonder how long before that is a crime...
Do Not Give Them Any Fucking Ideas
Apparently the only place a would-be terrorist can get explosives these days is from the FBI.
The Terrorist Employment Program.
Creating jobs via The O-Phone Stimulus Program, with built-in drills for the FBI!
Now that's what I call "spreading the wealth around."
And, they can use the same stimulus money on the next sucker!
It's good to see the Feds maintaining their 100% record of thwarting their own terrorst plots.
funny and well said.
I think it's 99% after Fast and Furious
Fast & Furious was BATF, not FBI.
They missed Oklahoma City. McVeigh was getting suspicious so he took the truck and parked it a few days earler than planned.
the 93 Twin towers bombings were (FBI) fed assisted/induced plots -partially successful. The Feds missed out on 911- CIA/MI6 and Mossad -they were even excluded from the coverup -the White House and mainstream media handled that pretty good -sloppy, but still got the job done.
The real point of stories like this is to make sure the paranoids can't organize.
It's working.
but i thought the Fed had their own police?! rotten good-for-nuthins
yes, the fed has their own police..........

There would be a huge, huge celebration if someone dismantled the Federal Reserve. A good place to start would be the NY Fed. NY Fed bankster Dudley is indeed a financial terrorist.
NYPD ...... Anyone seen Bernard Kerick lately ?
It was that Internet Movie that drove this to happen, the bears I believe sparked this outrage. No terrorism
The perp will be discovered to be John Wilkes Sirhan Oswald.
Booth. He changed his name from Booth.
Sirhand Sirhandjob Booth
Just another long line of the FBI sucking in a mentally ill ass hole who would be disgruntled but unwilling or unable to pull off any sort of attack and setting him up to be shown off.
Fucking joke.
"New York terror suspect is a 21-year-old Bangladeshi citizen who traveled to the U.S. in January to carry out terror attack."
Yeah ok, can I have an order of freedom fries to go with that retarded story. Oh, and a large "they hates us because of our freedom" flavored kool-aid drink.
No.
They hate us because of our Tungsten Bar Inventory.
Sorry, but due to hedonic adjustments all I can offer you is an old iPad.

He probably responded to an employment ad posted in the al Qaida website.
'Make $82 an hour loading boxes. No experience required!'
That was one of the still open unfilled shovel ready jobs, no?
who paid for his plane ticket?
I wonder which one of our rights they take away this time.
What rights
I think there's like one or two.
I'm hesitant to say them, I don't want to give the government any ideas.
You have a right to choose between pornoscan or grope, Obama or Romney and chicken or fish. What's not to like?
You have the right to bend over and grab your ankles.
Were those "Tape Bombs", that he was planning to use?
We can joke and we can vent some of our sheer contempt and anger for what the FED is doing but any form of bombing etc on US soil opens up a brand new ball game which creates a society at war with itself.
If the enforcement agencies are setting up people then the corrosion of which we have spoken at all times is simply on target, on time but not on budget.
Bring on that new ball game, I'm up for some change.
