　　NEW YORK (CNN) -- Four men have been charged with conspiring to attack John F. Kennedy International Airport by planting explosives to blow up jet fuel supply tanks and a pipeline, officials said.

　　Homeland Security sources said there is no current threat at the airport and that the attack as planned was "not technically feasible."

　　The alleged plot did not target airplane flights.

　　"Anytime you hit Kennedy, it is the most hurtful thing to the United States. To hit John F. Kennedy, wow...they love JFK -- he's like the man. If you hit that, this whole country will be in mourning. It's like you can kill the man twice," one of the suspects said during a recorded phone conversation, officials said.

　　The airport is named in honor of President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963.

　　At a Justice Department news conference Saturday afternoon, the plotters were described as "a determined group" whose signature was persistence.

　　One of the four was arrested in the United States: Former JFK cargo worker, Russell Defreitas, a U.S. citizen and native Guyanan, who was arrested in Brooklyn, New York, according to a written statement from the Department of Justice.

　　The other suspects were identified as Abdul Kadir of Guyana, Kareem Ibrahim of Trinidad, and Abdel Nur. The United States plans to seek extradition of the three men charged outside the United States.

　　Several law enforcement officials told CNN earlier that Kadir was a former member of parliament in Guyana.

　　The Justice statement said the men began planning the assault on January 6. A complaint alleges that the plot tapped into an international network of Muslim extremists from the United States, Guyana and Trinidad.

　　An official described the suspects as "al Qaeda wannabes."

　　In another recorded conversation with his alleged conspirators in May 2007, Defreitas compared the plot to attack JFK airport with the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center, saying, "Even the Twin Towers can't touch it. This can destroy the economy of America for some time," according to Justice officials.

　　The plot was revealed when the planners tried to recruit a person who was a law enforcement informant, sources said.

　　Rep. Peter King, R-New York, said law enforcement had had the plot "under control" for some time. Another law enforcement official said the plot was never fully operational.

　　"There is no credible intelligence to suggest an imminent threat to the homeland at this time, and there are no adjustments to our security posture being made as a result of this plot," a Homeland Security official said.

　　"We consider this plot to have been credible with an intent to commit acts of violence, but not yet fully operational," the official said.
