The good guys win one
Local and federal authorities just unsealed indictments in a disrupted plot whereby three men inspired by ISIS allegedly plotted to kill and wound New Yorkers by the hundreds if not thousands. The suspects — a Canadian, a U.S. citizen and a resident of the Philippines — sought in the summer of 2016 to detonate bombs and shoot innocents en masse in Times Square. On subways. At concerts. This is the stuff of nightmares. Bless the NYPD and FBI, including the intrepid agent, hopefully forever anonymous, who went undercover. The threat persists. They chase danger so we can rest.
