A Pakistani national has made a shocking admission after being accused of a serious terrorism-related offense. Muhammad Saiful Alam, a 38-year-old resident of Queens, New York, has pleaded guilty to charges of plotting to attack a Jewish community center in Brooklyn. According to authorities, Alam had been under surveillance for months before his arrest and had allegedly been in contact with known terrorists. His guilty plea comes as a major blow to those who had been working to prevent such an attack from taking place, and raises concerns about the ongoing threat of domestic terrorism in the United States.
