New York Terror Raids Part of FBI Probe into Cell Plotting Attack on 9/11 Scale
[New York Daily News] James Gordon Meek and Simone Weichselbaum - A suspected al-Qaeda cell - the first uncovered in the U.S. since 9/11 - drew round-the-clock FBI surveillance Tuesday as authorities said they thwarted its plans for a major terror attack. One of the suspects visited New York last week toting bomb-making plans after a trip to Pakistan - home to most of al-Qaeda's leadership, sources said. "The FBI is seriously spooked about these guys," a former senior counterterrorism official said. "This is the real thing." FBI agents swarmed into three apartments in New York this week, bashing down doors and carrying search warrants seeking bomb-making materials.
