Al Qaeda loving Jose Pimentel, 27, who allegedly wanted to change his name to Osama Hussein, dreamed of "violent jihad" was busted with pipe bombs in his New York apartment.
The NYPD counter-terrorism unit had been following him since May 2009, when inspired by the death of terror chief Anwar Al Awlaki, he began buying the equipment to make the explosives.
Mayor Bloomberg said Pimentel was "plotting to bomb police patrol cars and postal facilities as well as targeted members of our armed services returning from abroad."
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Pimentel was close to putting his deadly plan into action.
