Black Muslim convert jihadists convicted of plot to bomb NY synagogues and shoot down US military planes

 Four Black Muslim converts,¹ James Cromitie (aka Abdul Rahman), 44, David Williams (aka Daoud), 29, Onta Williams (aka Hamza), 34, and Laguerre Payen (aka Amin), 29, have been convicted by a Manhattan jury of a jihad^2,3 terror plot against Jews and the US. Payen is a Haitian citizen while the rest are Americans.⁴ The terrorists planned to bomb the Jewish Riverdale Centre and Temple in the Bronx, New York⁵, and shoot down cargo planes at the Air National Guard base in Newburgh⁶, north of New York city, with Stinger missiles.⁷  The men carried our surveillance at the airport and were video taped practicing with the missiles. They were finally arrested after planting bombs at the Riverdale Temple. Although the terrorist thought the bombs and missiles were real, they were fakes secretly provided by the FBI in a sting operation also involving an informant Shahed Hussain who pretended to be part of the plot. The terrorists will be sentenced on March 24.
