2 accused at NY trial of plot to blow up airport

Two Muslim militants plotted to cause more death and destruction than the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks by blowing up John F. Kennedy International Airport six years later, federal prosecutors said Wednesday at the men's terrorism trial.

"We will ask you to hold them accountable ... for a plan that would have taken innocent lives," Assistant U.S. Attorney Berit Berger said in opening statements in federal court in Brooklyn.

Lawyers for Russell Defreitas, a naturalized U.S. citizen, and Abdul Kadir, another Muslim defendant from Defreitas' native Guyana, countered by telling the jury that their clients were framed by a government informant.
