Citizens armed with shotguns will patrol the streets of the heavily Jewish
Borough Park and southern Flatbush neighborhoods of Brooklyn because of
comments a suspected terrorist made about targeting them, a rabbi said.

The patrols, to begin June 16, are in response to comments Abdul Rahman
Yasin made during an interview on CBS’ ’60 Minutes’ on June 2, said Rabbi
Yakove Lloyd, founder and president of the right-wing Jewish Defense
Group.

Yasin, who is sought by the FBI in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing,
said in an interview from a compound in Iraq that he and his accomplices
originally targeted heavily Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn. They later
decided to attack the twin towers because they believed most of their
occupants were Jewish, Yasin said.
