5th suspect held over NY airport attack 'plot'
Afp, The Hague
A fifth suspect has been arrested over an alleged plot to blow up fuel tanks and pipelines at New York's John F Kennedy International airport, the Dutch ANP news agency reported yesterday. It said the unnamed man, from Guyana and the subject of an international warrant, had been arrested on Sint Maarten, the Dutch part of a West Indies island shared with France. Last month a court in New York charged Trinidadian Kareem Ibrahim and three men from Guyana, parliamentarian Abdul Kadir, Russell Defreitas, who worked at the JFK airport terminal, and Abdel Nur, with plotting between January 2006 and June 2007 to bomb the airport. All were arrested earlier in June, Defreitas in the United States and the other three in Trinidad. Critics however, played down the import of the conspiracy, saying the defendants could have caused little damage.
