A crew of accused terrorists charged with plotting to blow up Bronx synagogues and military jets were taped using fake names in a scene reminiscent of the film, "Reservoir Dogs (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Reservoir+Dogs)."
"Tony, Mr. Manny, Mr. Bond, there you go, ain't nothing else to be said," alleged ring leader James Cromitie was captured saying in surveillance footage shown to the jury Tuesday at their trial in Manhattan (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Manhattan) federal court.
One of the co-conspirators went by the nickname "James Bond (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/James+Bond)."
"You just gotta know your names. That's it," Cromitie said in footage shot in an FBI (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Federal+Bureau+of+Investigation)-paid-for apartment in Newburgh, NY (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Newburgh+(New+York)).
Cromitie also was taped rambling on about a Tasmanian Devil that escaped from the Bronx Zoo (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Bronx+Zoo) and boasting how he would not be afraid of sneaking through the woods to blow up planes at an upstate airport.
"Coyotes and all, they'll run from me, trust me, because I'm gonna fight anything moving," Cromitie bragged.
Cromitie, David Williams (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/David+Williams), Onta Williams (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Onta+Williams) and Laguerre Payen (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Laguerre+Payen) are charged with planning to blow up Bronx synagogues and military planes at Stewart International Airport (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Stewart+International+Airport) in 2009.
Their lawyers claim their clients were entrapped by a paid FBI-informant. They also argue that the crew was so hapless they could never have pulled off the alleged plot.
Much of the video shown to jurors was taken in a car being driven by informant Shahed Hussain (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Shahed+Hussain) as he, David Williams and Cromitie drove around the airport planning an attack.
