The defendants in the case of the plot to blow up JFK are:
Russell Defreitas, aka "Mohammed" - the inside man, who had formerly worked at the airport. He allegedly came up with the plan to blow up the fuel tanks at the airport.
Kareem Ibrahim, aka "Amir Kareem" - an alleged co-conspirator who helped seek financing for the plot.
Abdul Kadir - the engineer who allegedly provided technical advice on how to blow up the fuel tanks.
Abdel Nur - an alleged co-conspirator.
From the U.S. criminal complaint in the case against those accused of planning to blow up JFK airport:
28. During the return drive from JFK, DEFREITAS discussed the extent of the damage they could cause. In particular, DEFREITAS predicted that the plot would result in the destruction of "'the whole of Kennedy," that only a few people would escape and that, due to underground piping, part of Queens would explode. DEFREITAS went on to predict that, as a result of the plot, DEFREITAS and the Source would "get our blessings and our rewards" and "a place in paradise."
This shows clearly that, according to the complaint, Defreitas was motivated by his belief that as a Muslim, he would go to paradise for carrying out this attack.
