Fox news is chasing this one:
NEW YORK — Three people were arrested and one was being sought in connection to a plan to set off explosives in a fuel line that feeds John F. Kennedy International Airport and runs through residential neighborhoods, officials close to the investigation said.
The plot, which never got past the planning stages, did not involve airplanes or passenger terminals, according to the two officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the arrests had not yet been announced.
A senior law enforcement official told FOX News that of the three arrests, one was in New York and two were in Trinidad. The New York suspect was identified as Russell Defreitas, a former JFK employee who allegedly planned to attack the airport’s fuel supply because he thought he could do more damage than attacking a passenger terminal. Afreitas is a Muslim U.S. citizen from Guyana.
Defrietas predicted the attacks would destroy “the whole of Kennedy,” according to an FBI press release, and that only a few people would survive the attack.
There was no comment from John Edwards, who recently assured us that such threats were “Overblown”. Perhaps he thought they were talking about his hair.
