Feds Arrest Man Plotting Attack On New York Fed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

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.

Woodrow Wilson signed the 1913 Federal Reserve Act.

A few years later he wrote: I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.

Seems he didn't exactly say that in reference to the FED,

 Rather,per: http://www.salon.com/2007/12/21/woodrow_wilson_federal_reserve/

it was an amalgam.  

"Two separate portions of the quote appear in The New Freedom: A Call for the Emancipation of the Generous Energies of a People,” published in 1913. “The New Freedom” is a distillation of campaign speeches Wilson made while running for President in 1911.

On page 185 there is the following section: 

"A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men who, even if their action be honest and intended for the public interest, are necessarily concentrated upon the great undertakings in which their own money is involved and who necessarily, by very reason of their own limitations, chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom."

 

And on page 201:

 

"We are at the parting of the ways. We have, not one or two or three, but many, established and formidable monopolies in the United States. We have, not one or two, but many, fields of endeavor into which it is difficult, if not impossible, for the independent man to enter. We have restricted credit, we have restricted opportunity, we have controlled development, and we have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world — no longer a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men. "

 

 


 While Wilson may not have been explicitly talking about  the FED in those speeches he clearly was talking about the same coterie of financial wankers who would turn the Reserve into their own private bitch.

This is the first time in history that economics has been at the center of world crisis.  It is the first time that the series of events that most affect the future of civilization concern the currency.  The operating arm of this economic center is the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and it is rotten to the core.

You  can’t go to most of the economic sources in the world --  the WSJ, the Economist, the FT, the NYTimes, CNN, MarketWatch --- to find out what’s going on because they are with the takeover; they are co-opted. Zero Hedge is not only the closest thing to reality following the accuracy as to what’s going on, but in addition it allows freedom of expression -- a powerful combination.

from the doc

all I had in my mind are how to destroy America . . . I came up to this conclusion that targeting America’s economy is most efficient way to draw the path of obliteration of America as well as the path of establishment of Khilapha.

notice the grammatical mistakes

I decided to attack the Federal Reserve bank of New York which is by far the largest (by assets), most active (by volume) and most influential of the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks. New York Federal Reserve Bank implements monetary policy, supervises and regulates financial institutions and helps maintain the nation’s payment systems.

The FBI finds some nut, usually Arab with an Arab sounding name, sets them up with a plan, supplies the money and resources to carry out the plan, then arrests them after the plan fails, then claims a victory against the war on terrorism.

I wonder who much that freaking cost?  And now taxpayers get to spend the money to incarcerate this guy for, probably, life.  Woo hoo.  Thank goodness.

BREAKING NEWS:  FBI Arrests Itself

New York 10-17-12

    Sources have confirmed that FBI agents have successfully arrested another FBI agent suspected of attempting to commit an act of terrorism with a weapon of mass destruction in New York city this afternoon.  Sources close to the investigation and arrest have stated that more than 15,000 FBI agents were active and involved over a ten month period, often times collecting overtime pay for 120 hour work weeks, during the course of the investigation. 

     FBI spokesperson Chuck Schick commented, "We saved America today.  I can not emphasize enough how much time went into this investigation.  We had our agents at every possible eatery in town on a daily basis around the clock, monitoring every patron, so that we could properly respond to an attack such as this.  This was a small price to pay for our freedoms."

     The newly appointed Department of Freedoms Czar, William Dudley, in conjuction with the TSA and DHS, have annouced new safety policies and protocols in response to the attacks.  The new policies are not complete at this time but Mr. Dudley has confirmed that seizure and rehypothecation of any suspected terrorist's assets is included in the new policy language.
