ROCHESTER, New York — Three men are charged with plotting to attack an upstate New York Muslim community with explosives.
WHEC reports that three Rochester-area men are accused of plotting to attack Islamberg, a rural Muslim enclave west of the Catskills.
Police in the Rochester suburb of Greece this weekend arrested 20-year-old Brian Colaneri, 18-year-old Andrew Crysel and 19-year-old Vincent Vetromile. Each was charged with weapons possession and conspiracy.
Court papers say they had multiple, cylinder-shaped explosive devices and mason jars wrapped in duct tape.
Followers of a Pakistani cleric settled Islamberg in the 1980s to flee crime in New York City.
