Twenty-one year old, Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul, a Bangladeshi man was arrested Wednesday due to an alleged attempt to blow up the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Quazi was supposedly in the United States on a student visa and was inspired by an Al Qaeda to travel to the US in January to attend college in Missouri. Prosecutors are also saying that Quazi was trying to "recruit members to form a terroist cell." Federal authorities say that Quazi wanted to "destroy America by attacking the nations financial institutions by a 1,000 pound bomb." Little did he know he was set up with a undercover agent that provided him with fake bombs and went to the Federal Reserve and tried to detonate the bomb with his cell phone. After the failed attempt he was soon arrested and taken into custody.
