A federal jury has convicted two Guyanese men of conspiring to blow up fuel tanks at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, though federal authorities acknowledged the plot never progressed very far. Lawyers for the men said their clients were set up by a government informant. One of the key pieces of evidence in the trial was a videotape of the exteriors of the airport and its fuel tank farm shot. One of the Guyanese men, Russell Defreitas, shot the video using a camera bought by the government informant who also had to show him how to use it. His attorney said, “Russell Defreitas can’t mastermind his way out of an on-off switch on a video camera.” Defreitas and his co-defendant Abdul Kadir could face life in prison.
