A New York terrorism suspect was found guilty of participating in a failed plot to blow up John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Kareem Ibrahim, 65, of Trinidad, was convicted today by a federal jury in Brooklyn, New York. Prosecutors accused Ibrahim of joining the plan in May 2007 and of convincing the plotters to seek financial and logistical assistance from Iran. The scheme was foiled in its planning stages with the aid of a government informant who infiltrated the group and recorded its conversations.
