4th person sentenced in plot to bomb US Muslim community

2019-09-08

[IsraelTimes] Vincent Vetromile gets 7 years in jail, a month after his 3 accomplices in planned terror attack on New York community of Islamberg got 4-12 years.

The last of four young men who US authorities say planned to use homemade explosives against an upstate New York Moslem community has been sentenced to seven years in prison.

Twenty-year-old Vincent Vetromile appeared Tuesday in Monroe County Court. He had pleaded guilty in June to a weapons charge.

Vetromile, 20-year-old Brian Colaneri, 19-year-old Andrew Crysel and a 16-year-old were accused of planning an attack on Islamberg, a community of about 200 people in Delaware County.

Colaneri and Crysel were sentenced last month to four to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to terrorism conspiracy. The youngest defendant, who’s now 17, was sentenced to seven years.

Investigators said the Rochester-area residents had access to 23 rifles and shotguns and three homemade explosives when they were arrested in January.

It was a lunchroom comment by one of the students during school that launched the investigation.

"He looks like the next school shooter, doesn’t he?" the student allegedly said while showing students a picture of another boy on his phone, according to Phelan.

A student who heard the comment "did what we teach kids to do and told somebody," the chief said.

School security and Greece police interviewed both students and others and eventually uncovered their plot. The timing of the attack was unknown.

The rural community in Delaware County is operated by The Moslems of America, an American Moslem organization based in the US, which runs 21 others in North America. It was settled by followers of Pak holy man Sheikh Mubarik Gilani.

...more formally Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani, who served as the imam of the Yasin Masjid in Brooklyn before becoming too important for such petty considerations...

The mostly African-American settlers first came to the area in the 1980s to escape crime and crowding in New York City.

...Moslems of America (MOA), also known in English as Muslims of the Americas when they are talking about their Canadian and Caribbean ventures, and formally as The Muslims of America, Inc. (TMOA). The estimated 3,000 member group is one of the American front groups of Jamaat ul-Fuqra or Jamaat al-Fuqra, the other being Quranic Open University. Jamaat ul-Fuqra absorbed the Black Muslim street gang known as Dar al-Islam (DAR), was listed as a terror organization by the State Department in 1999, and is banned in Pakistan. The Wikipedia page is quite interesting...

Police and analysts have dismissed accusations that the 60-acre community is a terrorist training ground, but the claims have persisted for decades.

#2 That last sentence is a doozy. From what I recall, "police and analysts" aren't exactly aware of what goes on in the various Islambergs around the country, except they know felons circulate in and out of them.

#1 A student who heard the comment "did what we teach kids to do and told somebody," the chief said

"Now remember kids. White and aloof. Also, if he plays cowboys an' injuns a lot - and he's always the cowboy."
