Three of the four men arrested for allegedly planning bomb attacks on Jewish targets in New York are expected to appear in federal court Thursday, the U.S. attorney's office said. The group allegedly plotted to bomb two New York synagogues and wanted to use surface-to-air missiles to fire at U.S. military planes, said a criminal complaint filed this week in White Plains, New York. "Four individuals were arrested for planting bombs in front of two [Jewish facilities] in the area," said Raymond Kelly, New York City police commissioner. The charges are based on information from an FBI informant, with whom the men met as they plotted to carry out their attacks, authorities said. While the weapons provided to the defendants by the cooperating witness were fake, the defendants thought they were absolutely real," acting U.S. Attorney Lev L. Dassin said in a statement.

LONDON, England (CON) -- The Indian media have described the Mumbai terrorist siege as India's 9/11. The targets for the attacks, many of them symbols of Mumbai's growing power and wealth, were not randomly selected and were intended to send a direct message to India, Israel and the West.

Mumbai is to India as New York is to the United States or London to the United Kingdom. The city is driving India&#

The NYPD is going to be constructing a secure facility at police headquarters to house and gain access to classified anti-terrorism intelligence previously limited to national organizations like the FBI. The center is known as a Sensitive Compartmented Intelligence Facility (SCIF) and access to the facility will only be granted to NYPD personnel with proper security clearances. The SCIF was requested by Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, who has NYPD personnel working abroad to combat terrorism and gather information, but felt that the FBI had a choke hold on anti-terror data collected at the national level. He told The Washington Post , "People have information, and they want to control information. Controlling information is power, and they don't want to let it go -- it is as fundamental as that." It took six years after Kelly's initial request in 2002 for the FBI to agree to share its information. At first, the Bureau was resistant to the idea because it didn'
