   ....at JFK International Airport in NYC was [1]exposed today when
   three of the suspects were arrested. A fourth suspect is still at
   large.

     As first reported by NewsChannel4's Jonathan Dienst, three people
     were arrested and one other was being sought Saturday in connection
     to a plot to blow up jet-fuel lines at John F. Kennedy
     International Airport, officials said.
     Four people have been charged. Three suspects are in custody:
     Russell Defreitas, Kareem Ibrihim and Abdul Kadir. Another suspect,
     Abdul Nur is still at large.
     Defreitas is to be arrainged Saturday in Brooklyn on terror
     conspiracy charges.
     Sources said Defreitas, a former cargo worker at JFK allegedly
     began to plot attacking the US last July or August. Defeitas sought
     help in carrying out a plan and went to an FBI informant, who
     gathered information about the plot.
     U.S. Attorney Roslynn R. Mauskopf called it "one of the most
     chilling plots imaginable."
     "The devastation that would be caused had this plot succeeded is
     just unthinkable," she said at a news conference.
     Defreitas is a U.S. citizen with roots in Guyana.
     Kadir, a former member of Parliament in Guyana, was arrested in
     Trinidad for attempting to secure money for "terrorist operations,"
     according to a Guyanese police commander who spoke on condition of
     anonymity.

   This plot is one more warning that we need to remain vigilant and
   never let our guard down. Despite the fact that some in this country
   make light of the threat, it is constant and ongoing and will remain
   with us for some time to come.
