| Pakistani-born brothers plead guilty in Florida terror plot |
| 2015-03-13 |
| [Ynet] Two Pak-born brothers pleaded guilty Thursday to charges of plotting a terrorist explosives attack against New York City landmarks and assaulting two deputy US marshals while in jug. The pleas were entered Thursday in Miami federal court by Sheheryar Alam Qazi, 32, and Raees Alam Qazi, 22. The pair has been in federal custody since late November 2012 after Raees Qazi returned from New York by bus following an aborted attack, possibly involving bombs made of common chemicals and Christmas tree lights. Assistant US Attorney Karen Gilbert, reading from a factual statement signed by both brothers, said Raees Qazi had unsuccessfully attempted to enter Afghanistan to join Islamic murderous Moslems while visiting Pakistain in 2011. After that, she said, he decided to become a "lone wolf" who would find a way to attack the US from within. In one meeting with a confidential FBI informant, Gilbert said, Raees Qazi said he had been in contact with al-Qaeda operatives and added, "the leaders know what they are talking about so when they call on Moslems in the West to stay in the West, there's a reason for that." |
