SCREEN CAPTURE

Dr. Russell Salic was arrested in the Philippines for another alleged terrorist act.

DETAILS of a plot to commit terrorist attacks by three men rom the Philippines, Canada and the U.S.have been unsealed revealing a plan for bombings and shootings in New York City in the summer of 2016.

Those plans were thwarted when authorities in the U.S. and the Phlippines arrested Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy, a 19-year-old Canadian citizen; Talha Haroon, a 19-year-old U.S. citizen residing in Pakistan; and Russell Salic, a 37-year-old Philippine citizen. 

The defendants are: Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy, a 19-year-old Canadian citizen; Talha Haroon, a 19-year-old U.S. citizen residing in Pakistan; and Russell Salic, a 37-year-old Philippine citizen.  

Communicating through social media, these three men allegedly plotted to conduct multiple attacks on behalf of Isis. Bahnasawy wanted to use car bombs on Times Square and the subway and shoot up concerts with Haroon's assistance. Salic allegedly would finance the attacks.

On May 21, 2016, El Bahnasawy was arrested in New Jersey, after traveling to the United States from Canada in preparation for carrying out the NYC Attacks.  Haroon was arrested in Pakistan in or about September 2016, and Salic was arrested in the Philippines in or about April 2017.  

El Bahnasawy pleaded guilty on Oct. 13, 2016, to a seven-count Superseding Information before U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman.  

The Court unsealed the Superseding Information and El Bahnasawy’s guilty plea Friday, Oct. 6, as well as the Complaint and Indictment previously filed against El Bahnasawy. The Court also unsealed the Ccmplaints against Haroon and Dr. Salic.

Salic, an orthopedic surgeon, was arrested earlier this year for the ISIS-linked abduction and beheadings of two Filipino workers in behalf of Isis.

Salic could face charges in the horrific Philippines attacks before authorities agree to extradite the accused terrorist to face charges in the United States, authorities said Saturday. Chief State Counsel Ricardo Paras said a court in Manila was considering the transfer request from the U.S. government regarding the new allegations made public Friday.

The doctor advocated the killings of New York City’s Jewish residents. “It would be a great pleasure if we could slaughter them,” he told an undercover law enforcement agent, according to prosecutors.
