Plot to Attack CH Shul Uncovered
An unhinged man was nabbed for hatching a plot to rob a Brooklyn synagogue and then fight off cops with pipe bombs and guns, authorities said.
Elias Narvaez, 21, allegedly made anti-Semitic remarks as he crafted his plan, explaining he was targeting an Orthodox synagogue on Montgomery Street in Crown Heights because its gold-colored front doors suggested the congregation was wealthy.
“He wanted to rob Jews,” a law-enforcement source told The Post.
Narvaez’s idea was to use a bomb to knock out the lights, and then enter the darkened building to hold up the congregation with a Glock semiautomatic pistol and a revolver.
Narvaez reportedly believed the darkness would help him ambush responding cops.
“When they come, we will start shooting at them,” he told an informant. “I’ll throw a pipe bomb at them . . . If I die, I’ll die.”
A law-enforcement source said of the plot, “It was taken very, very seriously.”

Hope it never happened. I saw it first on VIN. They got it from the NY Post. I still wonder about the details as they seem odd to want to blow up that shul. Does the perp perhaps live in the neighborhood. There are not jewish houses right near the shul and i am sure he did not want them to get hurt.

Of course it never happened, but it was going to happen if not for the informant.
The guy saw that the Shul had nice doors so he probably thought that the people in the Shul were rich, so he decided to rob the place on Yom Kippur by going inside and robbing the people and whatever else he can steal.
The only problem is :), frum Jews don’t carry anything on Shabbos, so if he went in there, he probably wouldn’t get much. And the escape? He would go to the fuse box, and blow it up with a pipe bomb, and if the police arrive, there would only be a few at first, so he thought it would be dark and he might be able to shoot them and bomb them…
Foolish man! I think ever Shul should have a few non anti-Semitic security guards.

No one said it happened. It was planned to happen. Read more carefully
This story is a Farse
Take this garbage down, this story is absolutely not true. MITCHEL MADDUX, a New York Post “reporter” made this story up.
John ezpinoza.
You know he will get bail. Why not prosecute this as a hate crime and give him no bail. Jews have a right to live in safety.
