4 charged in JFK Airport terror plot By ADAM GOLDMAN, Associated Press Writer 9 minutes ago NEW YORK - Three people were arrested and one other was being sought Saturday in connection to a plan to set off explosives in a fuel line that feeds John F. Kennedy International Airport and runs through residential neighborhoods, officials close to the investigation said. ADVERTISEMENT The plot, which never got past the planning stages, did not involve airplanes or passenger terminals, according to the two officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the arrests had not yet been announced.Details were to be given out at a 1 p.m. news conference.The pipeline takes fuel from a facility in Linden, N.J., to the airport. Other lines service LaGuardia Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport.The arrests mark the latest in a series of alleged homegrown terrorism plots targeting high-profile American landmarks.A year ago, seven men were arrested in what officials called the early stages of a plot to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago and destroy FBI offices and other buildings.A month later, authorities broke up a plot to bomb underwater New York City train tunnels to flood lower Manhattan.And six people were arrested a month ago in an alleged plot to unleash a bloody rampage on Fort Dix in New Jersey.___
