Shul ‘terror plot gang’ in court - The Jewish Chronicle

Four suspected terrorists have been arrested by police who claim they caught them planting bombs near two Synagogues in the Bronx area of New York.

State prosecutors say James Cromitie, David Williams, Onta Williams and Laguerre Payen, planned to detonate a car filled with plastic explosives outside the Riverdale Temple and the Riverdale Jewish Centre.

In April the group are said to have agreed on the synagogue they intended to attack and conducted surveillance.

Mr Cromitie, who has Afghan parents, allegedly pointed to Jews in the street and said “If he had a gun, he would shoot each one in the head.”
