Four Charged In Bomb Plot Against Muslim Community In New York

Description

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Three men and a teenager have been arrested after planning to bomb a Muslim community in upstate New York, and investigators have recovered three homemade bombs and nearly two dozen guns, authorities said on Tuesday. The alleged plot was uncovered after a student at Odyssey Academy, a school in Greece, New York, showed a classmate a photograph of another student and said, “He looks like the next school shooter, doesn’t he?” Greece Police Chief Patrick Phelan told reporters at a news conference. The investigation eventually led police to execute several search warrants and arrest four people, including the student who showed off the photograph.
