"The Police Department basically had an informant (on) this guy." They're paid to follow instructions and entrap targeted subjects. Usually they're convicted felons or face charges. In return for leniency and substantial compensation, they cooperate."This guy (Pimentel) is sort of giving to the informant all of these material(s) on bomb building and talking about building a bomb and supporting the mujaheeden by targeting - he's kind of all over the place; sometimes it's targeting servicemen and women returning from Afghanistan; sometimes it's the police; sometimes it's build it and test it, but it's all over the place."
"He was in the process of building three pipe bombs," the official claimed. "We weren't going to wait around to figure out what he wanted to do with his bombs. He was in Harlem about an hour from actually assembling the bombs," but had "unassembled components ready to go."
Charges against him include:
"Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the First Degree as a Crime of Terrorism""Conspiracy in the Second Degree as a Crime of Terrorism"
"Soliciting or Providing Support for an Act of Terrorism in the Second Degree"
"Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Third Degree"
"Conspiracy in the Fourth Degree"
