James Cromitie, David Williams, and Onta Williams were each sentenced today to 25 years in prison for plotting to bomb synagogues in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, New York, and to use Stinger surface-to-air guided missiles to shoot down military planes located at the New York Air National Guard Base at Stewart Airport in Newburgh, New York.

The defendants were convicted in October 2010 after a two-month jury trial. The case was investigated by the FBI’s New York Joint Terrorism Task Force—which principally consists of agents of the FBI and detectives of the New York City Police Department—the New York State Police and the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations.
