FBI Foils Attempted Terrorist Attack to Blow Up NY Fed Building
Federal law enforcement officials foiled an attempted terrorist attack by a Bangladeshi national on Wednesday to blow up the New York Federal Reserve building in Lower Manhattan with what the man believed was a 1,000-pound bomb.
The officials stressed the public was never in harm's way as the would-be terrorist was actually working with an undercover FBI agent as part of a sting operation.
The U.S. Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York said the defendant, Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, 21, faces charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to provide material support to al-Qaeda.
A law enforcement official told FOX News there is no evidence that Nafis was actually directed by al-Qaeda.
Head of Central Bank of Iraq Removed From Power
Good or bad news for Dinar Investors?
******************************************************
BAGHDAD – Iraq abruptly removed the longtime governor of the country's central bank Tuesday after he and other bank officials were targeted in an investigation into alleged financial wrongdoing.
The governor, Sinan al-Shabibi, is seen as a politically independent economist who has led the bank since shortly after the U.S.-led invasion. He has not been charged with any crime, and his lawyer insists he is innocent.
The allegations, drawn up by a special parliamentary committee established to investigate the bank, could give new ammunition to critics of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki that the Iraqi leader is trying to consolidate control over the country's institutions.
Iraq's Cabinet voted Tuesday to temporarily replace al-Shabibi with Abdul-Basit Turki, the head of the Board of Supreme Audit, until the investigation is complete, according to Ali al-Moussawi, a spokesman for the prime minister.

UFO Hacker, Gary McKinnon, Will Not Be Extradited to US
I was convinced...that certain secretive parts of the American government intelligence agencies did have access to crashed extra-terrestrial technology which could...save us in the form of a free, clean, pollution-free energy” Gary McKinnon
The Home Secretary Theresa
May has blocked the extradition of British computer hacker Gary
McKinnon to the United States for breaking into American military
computer systems. But who is Mr McKinnon?
In March 2002 Glasgow-born Mr McKinnon was arrested by police at his dingy flat in Wood Green, north London.Scotland Yard detectives were acting on allegations from the Americans that he had hacked into US military computer systems in an attempt to bring them down.
He allegedly immobilised sensitive systems in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
Mr McKinnon, now 46, admits hacking into US computers but says he had been on a "moral crusade" to find classified documents about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).
