Man busted at JFK Airport for trying to join terror group: feds

(NY Post) A Manhattan man was arrested at JFK Airport for trying to leave the country to join a Pakistani terror organization, officials said Friday.

Jesus Wilfredo Encarnacion, 29, allegedly told an unnamed co-conspirator in November that he wanted to hook up with Pakistani group Lashkar e-Tayyiba, which carried out the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people.

“I want to execute. I want to behead. Shoot,” Encarnacion told an undercover agent, the complaint alleges.

The co-conspirator connected Encarnacion with a “recruiter” to help him travel to Pakistan and be trained with the terror group, authorities said. But the “recruiter” was actually an undercover agent, according to a Manhattan federal criminal complaint.
