[mukto-mona] Bangladeshi man arrested after allegedly trying to blow up Fed building in NYC

The positive image which was developed over the years, has been attacked again. I find many Bangladeshis,getting USV (C1D, B1.B2), family immigration quicker than any country recently. We have to teach people who stays in USA, Canada. Have seen in the past, most of the backward parents (origin fm Syhlet as Syhleti, sorry to quote over here), not letting their kids to good school and during the present recession, the outcome came as worst as they lost the job, mostly within early school leavers and will blame particular North American BD parents, staying idle at home, mixing with wrong people. We have seen London alleged Bombplots in the past which was initial blow.Education will pacify such offensive act and to monitor carefully by the parents. Local Bangladesh embassy shud oversee some part as a request. This is Eye-Opener for BD residents in Jamaica, Queens and adjacent areas.

A very big blow for students , going for higher studies. Already UK is in problem due Job market and wrong doing by BD overseas student. USA will be next ! Pls raise awareness. There is another hub in Montreal, Toronto, California, Atlanta areas where the boys are not doing study  and involve with devil's workshop. There are many more young boys turning into fanatic thoughts and make America dirty as seen aftermath 2001. Help FBI/CIA and other security org and track those culprits.If required essentially,  we must assist for Phyche theraphy, it is not shame, the way Mr Anwar, Mr Hannan needs within this forum but can't make USA in problem.  NY Federal Bank can't be RAMU, Cox's bazaar. 

 

 

Bangladeshi man arrested after allegedly trying to blow up Fed building in NYC

• Federal authorities arrested a Bangladeshi national Wednesday morning for allegedly plotting to blow up a Federal Reserve Bank in New York City's lower Manhattan, mere blocks away from the site of the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001. The bank is one of 12 branches around the country. 

  The 21-year-old suspect, Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, attempted to detonate what he thought was a 1,000-pound bomb in front of the Fed building on Liberty Street, but the device was a fake supplied to him by undercover FBI agents who had been tracking his activity, the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force said Wednesday afternoon.

  The supposed explosives posed no threat to the public, the FBI said.

  A criminal complaint accuses Nafis of having overseas connections to Al Qaeda and travelling to the U.S. in January to recruit individuals to form a terrorist cell and conduct an attack on American soil. He came under the guise of going to school in Missouri on a student visa. One of Nafis' potential recruits was an FBI source, who alerted authorities, the FBI said.

  A federal law enforcement official told Fox News that there was no evidence Nafis was directed by Al Qaeda to carry out this attack, though he appears to have thought he was working for the terrorist group.

  At one point, according to criminal complaint, Nafis told undercover agents: "I don't want something that's like, small. I just want something big. Something very big ... that will shake the whole country, that will make America, not one step ahead, change of policy, and make one step ahead, for the Muslims ... that will make us one step closer to run the whole world."

  A U.S. official told Fox News that President Obama was Nafis' first target, but the criminal complaint only refers to "a high-ranking official." The complaint also mentions the New York Stock Exchange as a proposed target.

  The FBI cites a written statement obtained from Nafis in which he said he wanted to "destroy America" and determined that the best way to achieve that goal was to target the economy. He also referenced quotes from "our beloved Sheikh Osama bin Laden."

  Nafis appeared in federal court in Brooklyn to face charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to provide material support to Al Qaeda. Wearing a brown T-shirt and black jeans, he was ordered held without bail and did not enter a plea. His defense attorney had no comment outside court.

  "Attempting to destroy a landmark building and kill or maim untold numbers of innocent bystanders is about as serious as the imagination can conjure," FBI Acting Assistant Director-in-Charge Galligan said. "The defendant faces appropriately severe consequences."

  NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly noted that there have been 15 terrorist plots targeting the city since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

  "Al Qaeda operatives and those they have inspired have tried time and again to make New York City their killing field," Kelly said. "After 11 years without a successful attack, it's understandable if the public becomes complacent. But that's a luxury law enforcement can't afford."
