NY trial starts for 4 accused of temple bomb plot
None
Four men charged with trying to blow up New York synagogues and shoot down military planes were caught on videotape plotting and praying together before setting out to launch the attack, a prosecutor said Tuesday in opening statements at their trial.
The prosecutor said that alleged mastermind, James Cromitie, also was caught on tape complaining that "the best target has been hit" - a reference to the World Trade Center. But the defendant also suggested the George Washington Bridge, a military transport plane and especially a synagogue were worthy targets. (AP)
