Radical Trinidadians?
NY1 is all abuzz this afternoon as I struggle into consciousness with the story of a foiled plot to blow up a fuel pipeline at JFK:
Three people have been arrested and one other is being sought in a plot to blow up John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Law enforcement officials said Saturday at a press conference in Lower Manhattan that the plot, which never got passed the planning stage, involved a plan to set off explosives in a jet fuel pipeline that feeds through the airport and runs through residential neighborhoods.
According to a law enforcement source, the 40-mile pipeline brings aviation fuel from a facility in Linden, New Jersey, through Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Queens to the airport.
Now, the story's developing, as they say, but one of NY1's soundbites as I listened was "radical Trinidadian groups". What is a radical Trinidadian group? One which passes the Dutchie on the right hand side?
Thanks. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitstaff.
