Learning More about Accused Terrorist Jose Pimentel
The NYPD has apprehended, what they’re calling, a “lone wolf” terrorist. Jose Pimentel was arrested Saturday. Cops tell NBC New York that he was allegedly building pipe bombs to target soldiers and police officers. Local police officials say that the NYPD looked to the FBI to assist in the investigation, but were turned down. They say the feds did not consider the suspect a serious threat. Pimentel, also known as Muhammad Yusuf, was denied bail and remains in custody.
