TOP 10 RIGHT NOW
Two men from Queens have been arrested on conspiracy, hate-crimes, and weapons charges. The men planned to disguise themselves as Jewish worshipers in order to bomb synagogues. Ahmed Ferhani and Mohamed Mamdouh are also accused of buying guns and grenades from an undercover police officer who learned about the plot and gained their trust. Sources say the plot does not meet the standards of federal terrorism, but the pair will be charged with state terrorism. Both men are Americans, one of Moroccan descent and the other of Algerian descent. They will be arraigned in state Supreme Court in Manhattan on Thursday.
