Bombers To Homeless: Drop Dead

More proof that the Yankees are evil:

Yankees apparel and a shave was the disguise of choice for would-be bombers planning to blow up the Herald Square subway station, according to court testimony yesterday.

The idea was that “we should not look like Muslims, we should look like regular people,” Osama El-Dawoody, an NYPD informant, said in Brooklyn Federal Court.

El-Dawoody spent his third day on the witness stand providing an overview for hours of secretly recorded conversations with alleged bomber wanna-be Shahawar Matin Siraj in the summer of 2004 as details of the plot took shape.

Siraj, 24, suggested that the 50-year-old El-Dawoody would look more discreet by trading his kufi — a Muslim headpiece — for a baseball cap.

“Wear, like, this kind of stuff with the New York Yankees on it or something,” Siraj said.

Don’t worry, though, because the plot gets stupider and stupider:

According to their plan, the bomber would take the F train to the 42nd St. station and place an explosive device in a garbage can. Then he would board another train to the 34th St. station, place a second device in the garbage or a toilet there and take the train to the Broadway-Lafayette St. station.

It was unclear whether the bombs would be triggered by remote control or timers.

Siraj said he hoped the explosion would “take down” the shopping mall above the Herald Square station.

Idiots! No one actually uses the Manhattan Mall! No matter:

Killing people was not their main goal. They had hoped to minimize casualties by striking in the early-morning hours on the weekend when the stations subways were mostly deserted — except for the homeless, the tapes show.

“You cannot save [the] homeless,” Siraj said.

These guys sound very American, actually, with this you-cannot-save-the-homeless bootstrapper talk . . .
