Homegrown Terrorists Bent On 'Carrying Out Jihad'

Nearly eight years after 9/11, New Yorkers were given a sobering reminder Thursday that the threat of a terror attack is still so very real. Four men based in Newburgh are charged with conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and kill scores of New Yorkers in a most horrific way.

Federal prosecutors say the four suspects being held are extremely violent men who embraced every opportunity for terrorism. Their chilling plot was foiled by federal investigators, and now those terror suspects are under arrest and being held without bail.

Accused of planting what they thought were explosives near two Bronx synagogues and planning to take down military planes at an Air National Guard base in Newburgh, the four terror suspects were "eager to bring death to Jews" and were "disappointed...that the best target (the World Trade Center) was hit already," Asst. U.S. Attorney Eric Snyder said in federal court Thursday afternoon.

The suspects: are 55-year-old James Cromitie; 28-year-old David Williams; 32-year-old Onta Williams; and Laguerre Payen, all of Newburgh. Each were charged with conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and conspiracy to acquire and use anti-aircraft missiles. Prosecutors painted Cromitie as the ring leader of the group, eager to take credit for the terrorist plot. He allegedly recruited the three other suspects to help carry out the plan.

Investigators say the four men, who are Muslim, met in prison and allegedly hatched their plot at a local mosque. Their plans included using surface-to-air guided missiles to strike military planes, and to destroy the Riverdale Temple and Riverdale Jewish Center with C-4 explosives.
