New York Federal Reserve bomb plot foiled
Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, 21, was arrested in a sting operation
The story about the Reserve bomb plot is about a Bangladeshi man who came to the United States to wage jihad was arrested in an elaborate FBI sting on Wednesday after attempting to blow up a fake car bomb outside the Federal Reserve building in Manhattan. Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis the man who arrested, went to a warehouse to help assemble a 1,000-pound bomb using inert material, according to a criminal complaint. He also asked an undercover agent to videotape him saying, "We will not stop until we attain victory or martyrdom," the complaint said. The Agents grabbed the 21-year-old Nafis armed with a cellphone he believed was rigged as a detonator after he made several attempts to blow up the bomb inside a vehicle parked next to the Federal Reserve. This is crazy and this is why we middle-east people get stop at the boarders because stuff like this happens and I know that not everyone from the middle-east is a terrorist, but they need to have some checks every now and then just to make sure.
I do agree that this is a crazy act but I disagree that because of this incident we should start profiling people from the Middle East as terrorists. Just the act of discrimination in airport security and border patrol has given people from the Middle East a bad reputation already. It is very frustrating that people don't understand that these people who are threatening to hurt other and plotting terrorist acts are part of organizations to hurt the US. They are very different from the average Middle Eastern person and shouldn't be used as an example to portray them. Yes this was a terrible incident and I am very glad that the bomb was not set off, but this creates no excuse to profile and discriminate Middle Easterner's.
