Washington sources reported that 29 year old American was arrested at the JFK Airport while he was about to leave the country to join Pakistani terror organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which was responsible for the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack. Furthermore authorities said on Friday, Jesus Wilfredo Incarnation from Manhattan allegedly told an unnamed co-conspirator in November he wanted to contact the terror group, which was behind the 2008 Mumbai attack that killed 166 people, and was arrested from the airport on Thursday.
Meanwhile according to prosecutors, Incarnation also went online in a bid to join LeT, which has been designated global terrorist organization by the UN and the US. Assistant Attorney General John Demers said “Incarnation allegedly attempted to travel to Pakistan to join a foreign terrorist organization and conspired with another individual to provide that organization with material support”.
Moreover officials said the co-conspirator connected Incarnation with a “recruiter” to help him travel to Pakistan and be trained with the terror group. But the “recruiter” was actually an undercover agent, the complaint stated. He told the agent that he couldn’t wait to go to Pakistan.
