In a chilling confession, Long Island-bred terrorist Bryant Neal Vinas told how he joined Al Qaeda to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan and help plot a commuter train attack.
"In the fall of 2007, I left my home in Long Island to travel to Pakistan with the intention of meeting and joining a jihadist group to fight American soldiers in Afghanistan," Vinas said on Jan. 28 in Brooklyn Federal Court.
A transcript unsealed last night by Federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis shows the homegrown terror suspect was reading from a prepared statement.
