Second Video of Pepper-Spraying Officer Anthony Bologna + History Of Violence = NYPD PR Disaster
September 28, 2011 No Comment
[1]We were willing to give NYPD’s Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna the benefit of the doubt when we called the video of his pepper-spraying defenseless female protestors on Wall Street last Saturday a case of “alleged” police brutality [2]. We even somewhat sympathized with him (well, at least his family) when Anonymous leaked all his personal information to the Internet on Monday [3].

US citizen Rezwan Ferdaus planned to pack remote-controlled planes with plastic explosive, authorities say US authorities on Wednesday arrested and charged a Massachusetts man with plotting to damage or destroy the Pentagon and US Capitol by using remote-controlled aircraft filled with plastic explosives. Rezwan Ferdaus, 26, a US citizen, was also charged with attempting to provide support and resources to the al Qaida group in order to carry out attacks on US soldiers stationed overseas, US attorney’s office in Boston said. He was caught in an undercover operation. “The conduct alleged today shows that Mr. Ferdaus had long planned to commit violent acts against our country,” US Attorney Carmen Ortiz said in a statement. The public was never in danger from the explosive devices, which were controlled by undercover FBI employees, she said. Authorities allege that Ferdaus, a physics graduate from Northeastern University in Boston, began planning to commit a violent “jihad” against the United States in early 2010. Ferdaus, of Ashland, Massachusetts, about 25 miles (40 km) west of Boston, is alleged to have modified mobile phones to act as electrical switches for improvised explosive devices (IEDs). He supplied the phones to the undercover FBI agents, who he believed were members of, or recruiters for, al Qaida. “During a June 2011 meeting, he appeared gratified when told his first phone detonation device had killed three US soldiers and injured four or five others in Iraq. Ferdaus responded, “That was exactly what I wanted,” the federal affidavit said. Ferdaus told agents he planned to attack the Pentagon using “small drone airplanes” filled with explosives and guided by GPS equipment. He later expanded that plan to include an attack on the US Capitol. “In May and June 2011, Ferdaus delivered two thumb drives to the UCs (undercover agents), which contained detailed attack plans with step-by-step instructions as to how he planned to attack the Pentagon and Capitol,” authorities said. Ferdaus traveled to Washington to conduct surveillance and take photographs of his target, and identified sites at East Potomac Park, near the Capitol, from which he planned to launch his explosive-filled aircraft. Ferdaus’ arrest came immediately after he took possession of various weaponry from the undercover agents – including explosives, grenades and AK-47 assault rifles – and brought them to and locked them in his storage unit.
