Jose Pimentel, 27, of Manhattanville appeared in court on charges of conspiracy, first-degree criminal possession of a weapon as a crime of terrorism, and soliciting support for a terrorist act. Pimentel, an Al-Qaeda sympathizer, was constructing pipe bombs with a view to using them to attack police cars and US soldiers returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. He came to the attention of authorities in 2009 because of his use of extremist Websites and after bragging of his desire to travel to Yemen and train as a jihadist. He was kept under surveillance as he purchased components for the weapons and was arrested when reportedly "an hour away" from completing the first bomb.
