Four men snared last year in an FBI sting were convict Monday of intrigues to blow up New York City synagogues and shoot down military planes with the help of a paid informant who persuaded them he was a terror operative.
The smart never put New Yorkers at risk. But the defendants "thought this was real — real bombs, real missiles — every step of the way," supporter U.S. Attorney David Raskin said during closing influence.
A jury in central court in Manhattan deliberated eight days before finding alleged mastermind James Cromitie and three co-defendants guilty of charges including conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and conspiracy to acquire and use anti-aircraft missiles to kill U.S. officers and employees.
