The Wall Street Journal,
New York City authorities said Sunday they thwarted a plot to blow up post offices and police stations with crude pipe bombs.
Authorities charged Jose Pimentel, a Dominican-born Muslim convert, with providing support for an act of terrorism, conspiracy and weapons charges. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Mr. Pimentel was arrested on Saturday after having been watched by the NYPD since May 2009.
The NY Times reports that the 27-yr old was in the process of building three bombs and:
was planning to build and detonate a bomb in New York with government workers, returning military personnel and elected officials as the target
Supposedly he was acting alone.
I’m curious about who converted him, under what circumstances, and what houses of worship he attended here and in the Dominican Republic.
