We long have been sadly aware that there is no limit to the evil that some insist on committing in our world.
But still we wonder, as four men were convicted in New York this week for having plotted last year to use missiles and bombs to shoot down military aircraft and blow up New York City synagogues.
How were the evil deeds thwarted? In an FBI “sting,” a paid informant pretended to be “in” on the plot, reported the preparations and nipped the perpetrators before they could carry out their plan. Sentences up to life in prison will be set March 24 for the plotters.
We live in a dangerous world, in which constant alert is needed.
