Four men from Newburgh, NY plot an alleged homegrown terror plot. The FBI claims their plan was twofold: to plant bombs in Riverdale outside two synagogues, and blow up a military plane at Stewart airport with a Stinger missile. They were characterized as violent Muslims, but the media didn't report they were brought together by Shahed Hussain, an undercover informant, and sent to Newburgh in 2008 by the FBI to find domestic terrorists.
