    ...another idiot whose very best friend is an FBI informant...
    Shh! There might be an idiot reading!

  • Investigators learned the suspect, who lives in Queens with his parents, had been inquiring about buying explosives, suicide vests and grenades

  • He appeared in federal court in Brooklyn on Friday

  • Alam had allegedly spoken about wanting to attack politicians in New York City and Washington D.C. but decided on the Times Square plot

  • He was taken into custody in an undercover sting after paying $400 cash for guns that had their serial numbers removed

Alam is a rising senior at John Jay College and has two jobs, his lawyer said at the hearing. When asked about Alam, a spokesman for John Jay College said it does not release information about individual students.
