The FBI arrested four men for an alleged plot to bomb a Jewish temple and a Jewish community center in New York.

In this image made from television, an FBI agent escorts a man from Newburgh, New York into Federal Plaza in New York after arresting four men Wednesday May 20, 2009 in what authorities called a plot to detonate a bomb outside a Jewish temple and to shoot military planes with guided missiles.

The men also wanted to use surface-to-air missiles to shoot down US military planes near Stewart Air National Guard Base. The investigation has been under way for about a year since an informant said some militants wanted to buy explosives.

FBI agents posing as militants sold them fake explosives and missile. The men were arrested as they planted fake bombs in front of the Jewish temple. All four men were reportedly born in the United States.
