Two Men Are Arrested in Terror Case – NY Times
Two men who the authorities said intended to carry out a terrorist attack in New York City were arrested late Wednesday, two law enforcement officials said with knowledge of the matter.
The two men had sought to purchase hand grenades and guns, and they were arrested after what one law enforcement official described as a sting operation, saying that their aims appeared “aspirational.” A person briefed on the matter said the men had discussed attacking a synagogue although they did not appear to have a particular one in mind.
