New York City police have arrested an American-born Muslim in an alleged terror plot. Sketchy details are provided by the New York Post. The man, whose name has not yet been disclosed, is said to be in his 20s and to have schemed to attack at least one synagogue.

At this point, it appears there are only allegations. Two men were arrested, according to the New York Post for trying to buy weapons, purportedly to attack a synagogue. Just not enough information to know, at this point, what was going on. The FBI chose not to get involved in this one. There's a little more in the article from the New York Post, shown below.

Here's a link to the station I listen to him on. He's a good friend of Rush and really sharp on financial subjects.

FBI Task Force Refuses to Join 'Hyped' New York City Terror Case
Published May 15, 2011
| FoxNews.com

The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force has opted out of the case of two New York men allegedly involved in a plot to blow up a local synagogue over concerns it is not a bona fide terrorism case, WNYC reports.
Two federal law enforcement sources, who spoke to the station on condition of anonymity, said the FBI did not take the case of the two alleged New York City terrorists because the end result was being over-hyped and the agency felt the case would not hold up in court.
Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne rejected the Federal critique, saying, "When somebody acquires weapons and plans to bomb the largest synagogue in Manhattan he can find, what do you call it, mischief?"
Over the years, there have been tensions between the FBI and the NYPD, WNYC reports. The NYPD maintains its own sophisticated counterterrorism unit and has 1,000 officers committed to intelligence gathering and infrastructure protection. It also has detectives deployed in several major cities around the world.
Ahmed Ferhani, who is from Algeria, and Mohamed Mamdouh, who is from Morocco, were arrested after Ferhani was caught in a police sting trying to buy guns, ammunition and a hand grenade. Police and prosecutors said they laid the trap after an undercover investigator who had befriended the pair recorded Ferhani talking about attacking a city synagogue and maybe the Empire State Building. Both men came to the U.S. during grade school. Officials characterized the case as one involving a “pair of lone wolves” who were not part of a broader global terrorism conspiracy.

Well, all I can say on THIS one is good for NYC for preventing a synagogue and other things from getting blown up by lone wolf terrorists from a terrorist nation. Job well done.
