Line 46:
Cromitie (also known as Abdul Rahman), the reported leader, claimed he was born a Muslim and that his parents live in [[Afghanistan]]. He told the FBI informant that he was angry about the US military killing Muslims in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He had lived in Brooklyn and had a record of 27 arrests for minor crimes both in upstate New York State and New York City.<ref name="csmonitor1" />
In April 2009, the FBI informant coaxed Cromitie and his three alleged accomplices into accepting their targets. They were to bomb the [[Riverdale Temple]] and nearby [[Riverdale Jewish Center]] in [[the Bronx]]. They were also to fire [[Stinger missiles|Stinger surface-to-air guided missiles]] at military planes at a nearby air base, although it was not clear if they were to target any
In late August 2010, Hussain testified that Cromitie "hated Jews and Jewish people and he hated the American people, American soldiers. He was full of hate on those subjects. He said he would kill the president (then [[George W. Bush]]) 700 times because he's the [[Antichrist]]."<ref name="informant">{{cite news |title=Informant takes stand in NY temple plot case |author=Larry Neumeister |agency=Associated Press |date=August 27, 2010 |url=https://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100827/ap_on_re_us/us_temple_plot |url-status=dead |access-date=January 13, 2017 |archive-date=August 29, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100829172319/http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100827/ap_on_re_us/us_temple_plot }}</ref>
