The attempted plot came to fruition as an FBI undercover agent posed as an al-Qaeda facilitator:
Nafis asked the undercover agent for 50-pound bags of what he thought were explosives. He then worked on putting together an explosive device.
"Nafis purchased components for the bombs detonator and conducted surveillance for his attack on multiple occasions in New York Citys financial district in lower Manhattan," the press release from the Justice Department describing the criminal complaint said. Throughout his interactions with the undercover agent, Nafis repeatedly asserted that the plan was his own and was the reason he had come to the
United States."
