Two New York Women Charged With Terrorism Plot

Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things (that which strikes terror), and great miraculous signs in the heavens."

Two female roommates in Queens, New York are charged with plotting a terrorist attack on American soil.

Noelle Velentzas, 28 and Asia Siddiqui, 31, are both U.S. citizens.  The complaint against them was unsealed Thursday at Federal District Court in Brooklyn.

“The investigation has revealed that Velentzas espouses violent jihadist beliefs and has repeatedly expressed an interest in terrorist attacks committed within the United States,” the complaint stated.

A source told Fox News the women were plotting to use pressure cooker bombs similar to the ones used in the Boston Marathon bombings.  They were also in possession of propane tanks along with instructions on how to turn them into bombs.

Both of the women had “repeated contact with members of the foreign terrorist organization al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.”  One of the women said that Osama Bin Laden was her “hero”.

In communications with terrorists, Velentzas asked why they would need to come to the middle east when there were plenty of opportunities for “pleasing Allah” in the U.S.

The women face life in prison if convicted on all charges.
