JFK AIRPORT PLOT (3#) -
The Caribbean Connection -

# Two suspects in the foiled JFK Airport terror plot appeared in court in Trinidad and Tobago on Monday and were accused of conspiring to commit terrorism. Abdul Kadir and Kareem Ibrahim were led into a packed Port of Spain court in handcuffs this morning. Abdel Nur is still at large and is considered "armed and dangerous." [reut]

# "The other disturbing revelation from the JFK plot complaint (page 12) is how the conspirators planned to assist the smuggling of jihad fighters from Asia into the US through the Caribbean... most likely involving the use of false identification and travel documents." --Bill West [cterr]
