NY: Police Arrest 4 Suspects for Plot to Attack Muslim Community
----------------------------------------------------------------

In the New York town of Greece, police arrested three men and one minor
on suspicion of plotting an attack on a local Muslim community. The
suspects were said to be in possession of multiple improvised explosive
devices and firearms, and were charged with criminal possession of a
weapon and conspiracy. The suspects were allegedly planning to attack
the small community of Islamberg in upstate New York. Police discovered
the plot after the unidentified 16-year-old suspect made a comment to a
fellow student about a school shooter. The other suspects are
19-year-old Vincent Vetromile, 20-year-old Brian Colaneri and
18-year-old Andrew Crysel. Police say the attack was planned on the
gaming chat platform Discord.
