The Forward website reports today (July 4, 2011) that three men -- who plotted to blow up a synagogue in New York City -- were sentenced to 25 years in prison last week.
The men -- all Muslim converts -- were arrested in May 2009, after being caught in an FBI sting operation.
They were convicted in October 2010 of planting bombs at the Riverside Jewish Center and the Riverside Temple -- both in the Bronx -- and planning to shoot down U.S. military aircraft using surface-to-air missiles.
The bombs and missiles provided by an FBI informant were disabled.
