Terror at Home and Abroad

What's this? Another terror plot thwarted in the U.S.?:

NEW YORK -- According to NewsChannel4's Jonathan Dienst, three people were arrested and one other was being sought Saturday in connection to a plot to blow up jet-fuel lines at John F. Kennedy International Airport, officials said.

Four people have been charged. Three suspects are in custody: Russell Defreitas, Kareem Ibrihim and Abdul Kadir. Abdul Nur is still at large.

Defreitas is to be arrainged Saturday in Brooklyn on terror conspiracy charges.

Sources said Defreitas, a cargo worker at JFK allegedly began to plot attacking the US last July or August. The cargo worker sought help in carrying out a plan and went to an FBI informant, who gathered information about the plot.

The cargo worker is a U.S. citizen with roots in Guyana. Sources said he may be a former government official in Guyana.

Sources said counter-terrorism officials have been following the plot for a little less than one year.

Yet another blow to the "we're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here" argument.

Meanwhile, the death toll in Iraq continues to rise.
