NEW YORK (CNN) -- Four men have been charged with conspiring to attack John F. Kennedy International Airport by planting explosives to blow up jet fuel supply tanks and a pipeline, officials said.Homeland Security sources said there is no current threat at the airport and that the attack as planned was "not technically feasible."The alleged plot did not target airplane flights."Anytime you hit Kennedy, it is the most hurtful thing to the United States. To hit John F. Kennedy, wow...they love JFK -- he's like the man. If you hit that, this whole country will be in mourning. It's like you can kill the man twice," one of the suspects said during a recorded phone conversation, officials said.The airport is named in honor of President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963.At a Justice Department news conference Saturday afternoon, the plotters were described as "a determined group" whose signature was persistence.One of the four was arrested in the United States: Former JFK cargo worker, Russell Defreitas, a U.S. citizen and native Guyanan, who was arrested in Brooklyn, New York, according to a written statement from the Department of Justice.The other suspects were identified as Abdul Kadir of Guyana, Kareem Ibrahim of Trinidad, and Abdel Nur. The United States plans to seek extradition of the three men charged outside the United States.
