| Two Stupid Young Moslems Arrested in Plot to Bomb NY Subway |
| 2004-08-28 |
| From AOL News A U.S. citizen and a Pakistani national were arrested in an alleged plot to bomb a subway station in midtown Manhattan, and possibly other locations around the city, police said Saturday. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the men were not believed to be connected to al-Qaida or any other international terrorist organization, although he said they expressed hatred for America. The men had been under police surveillance and had discussed placing explosives at the Herald Square subway station and stations at 42nd and 59th streets, Kelly said. The men never obtained explosives, he said. "It was clear that they had the intention to cause damage, to kill people," Kelly said. "They did not immediately have the means to do it." He identified the men as Shahawar Matin Siraj, 21, a Pakistani living in Queens, and James El Shafay, 19, a U.S. citizen living on Staten Island. Kelly said the men visited the Herald Square 34th Street station - one block from Madison Square Garden, the site of next week's Republican National Convention - on Aug. 21. The men were being charged with conspiracy to blow up the station, which is central to a large commercial district, including Macy's flagship department store. They were to be arraigned Saturday in federal court. ... "Their motive was generally hatred for America," Kelly said. He said one of the men had also made anti-Semitic statements. |

| #7 Why did these two Muslim donkeys feel this was the best time frame to blow-up subway cars....the 'protesters' creating diversions and draining police counter-terrorist resources...that's why! Countless despicable treasonable acts of out right sedition have been meticulously pre-plotted by the well funded leadership of radical leftwing instigators during the GOP's convention week. Are the Kerry's through their 501C3's funding these 'protests' which could result in substantial loss of civilian lives if al-Qa'ida, thanks to the Leftwing troublemakers are able to slithering through the walls of police anti-terrorist measures? This nation is deeply engaged in a counter-terrorist war in numerous nations around the globe. The last thing we need is a bunch of schmuck sell-outs making al-Qa'ida's goals of slaughtering more innocent American lives all the easier. This coming week is the best opportunity to drive home the message to the horde of 'protesters', you side with America's enemies by being the enemy's willing tools of disorder, then those involved must be charged with sedition, arrested and the book thrown at them. Game's up, it's time traitors be prosecuted to the full extent of applicable federal & state anti-terrorist laws. |

| #5 The presence of super-star terror-tool Jaggi Singh, who specializes in diverting police resources, is probably just coincidental. |

| #4 After they get out of prison in 30 or 40 years, deport them, if it still exists, to Pakistan, especially "James" El Shafay. |
