Looks like a Guyanese Hindu/ Muslim fight to me, hope its not.

Too many young Guyanese drop out of School, finished HS at the bottom of the Barrel or drop out of College in the first year and therefore are too ILLITERATE to live in NY City!!!!

These hate crimes have got to stop and if Guyanese are involved then its a real shame. What is the public school teaching these kids these days?

I don't know of any public school that teaches hatred. It is usually learned at home, places of worship or private clubs/organizations.

The PS does not talk of hatred etc, but we need more in the curriculum that speaks of tolerance.

We need more tv shows that speaks of tolerance.

If this act had been done by Muslims it would have immedately been categorized as an act of terrorism, yet when it is perpetrated against Muslims it is not defined as such

There was a Mayor's breakfast that had Muslim and other leaders that called for tolerance. In this new year the watchword should be about peace and tolerance.

A man suspected of five New York City fire bombings was arrested today by cops who staked out a vehicle overnight awaiting the return of the vehicle's owner.

The attacks, which took place Sunday evening targeted an Islamic center, a Hindu temple, a bodega, and two private homes.

According to law enforcement officials the suspect, who was not immediately identified, made statements that appear to implicate him in at least some of the bombings, but stopped short of a confession in the first rounds of interrogation.

Detectives, relying on statements from witnesses and grainy surveillance video, determined the suspected bomber drove a late model car with Virginia license plates. Based on the wheels and basic wheel covers, Auto Crime unit detectives who viewed the video were able to conclude it was probably a rental car.

When a gray four-door Buick Regal with cheap wheel covers and Virginia plates was discovered in Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, N.Y., around midnight, police patiently waited for its driver to appear.

When he did early this morning, he was taken into custody.

According to police the motives in the five bombings, which are currently categorized as possible hate crimes because of the religious nature of at least two of the locations bombed, remain unclear.

In announcing the development at a meeting with leaders at a Queens Islamic center, Mayor Mike Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the city will not tolerate these attacks.

Bloomberg told them the attacks are unacceptable, "whether it was a senseless act of violence or a hate crime."

"We don't know what happened here yesterday," Bloomberg said. "We're doing the kind of investigation you would expect."

The first incident, officials said, appeared to be motivated by retribution. The suspected bomber was caught shoplifting from a deli, was confronted, and after a container of milk and a Starbucks Frappacino were recovered, he was manhandled and forcibly evicted, police said. He allegedly returned, tossed a Molotov cocktail packed in a Starbucks bottle, and fled. A resulting fire was extinguished with minimal damage and there were no injuries.

Subsequently four more attacks occurred within the short time frame of 8 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. within a small radius of Queens.

The subsequent attacks began with an assault on a mosque frequented by members of the Guyanese community. Next hit was a home occupied by an African American who is Christian. That was followed by the attempted firebombing of a Hindu temple frequented by members of the Guyanese community, but not marked from the street. The last occurred in Elmont on the home of persons of Indian descent.

None of the attacks caused any injuries, but flames that erupted at one of the homes took more than 60 firefighters about 40 minutes to control. The other home attacked, which also serves as a Hindu temple, was hit by two Molotov cocktails thrown from a van that sped away. The bottles fizzled out.

Officials said they are investigating whether all of the bombing locations had links to the Guyanese community and/or were known to the suspect.

Officials said that the suspect matches the description of the suspected bomber.

Police have released this sketch of suspect in a Jan. 1 firebombing in Jamaica, Queens

It was around 10 p.m. Sunday when a man in a hooded sweatshirt drove up to a home on 170th Street in Jamaica, Queens, and stepped out holding a glass bottle.

Slowly and deliberately, the man threw the bottle — transformed into a Molotov cocktail by the addition of flammable liquid and a wick — toward the bay window of the home, which houses a small Hindu temple.

Ramesh Maharaj, 62, a Hindu priest who lives in the house, rushed from his bed to the lawn and found the bottle burning harmlessly.

“It smelled like kerosene,” said Mr. Maharaj. “The intention from the behavior of the guy was to do destruction.”

The New York police say this small temple was one of four sites firebombed in Jamaica on Sunday night. No injuries were reported. Assisted by federal and state authorities, the police are investigating the firebombings as possible bias attacks. A security camera captured the attack on the temple.

In three of the four attacks, Starbucks Frappucino bottles were used, the police and witnesses said.

One attack occurred at an Islamic center where about 100 people were worshiping, and another at a bodega owned by a Muslim immigrant from Yemen. At the fourth site, a house on 107th Avenue, the residents said that they were Christians and that they were baffled by the attack.

In a fifth episode on Sunday night, a bottle containing flammable liquid was thrown onto the porch of a house in Elmont, just across the Nassau County border. The case had “some characteristics” of the pattern in Queens, a spokesman for the Nassau County police said.

No arrests were made as of Monday night. The police released a sketch of a suspect and described him as a black man 25 to 30 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 200 pounds and wearing a black jacket and a baseball cap. He was seen driving a light-color sedan.

The Queens attacks occurred in one of the more diverse stretches of the city’s most diverse borough. Jamaica Avenue and Hillside Avenue, two main thoroughfares, are dotted with halal shops, Latino restaurants, Hindu temples and storefront Christian churches. Once predominantly black, the neighborhood has had influxes of immigrants from many parts of the world, including Guyana, the West Indies, Central America, South Asia, and Arabic-speaking lands.

“Everyone gets along, no problems,” said Salem Ahmed, 38, the owner of the bodega, on Hillside Avenue and 180th Street, that was firebombed about 8 p.m.

Mr. Ahmed said a man ran into the store and threw a flaming bottle over the deli counter at the small 24-hour grocery store, which he opened soon after arriving from Yemen 20 years ago.

The bottle fell to the floor without breaking and caused a small fire easily extinguished by a worker, he said.

He said his first thought was about a man whom workers threw out for shoplifting. “But I don’t think it’s him,” he said.

In the attack on the Al-Khoei Islamic Center, along the Van Wyck Expressway, two flaming bottles were thrown at the entrance, causing a small fire shortly before 9 p.m.

Imam Maan Al-Sahlani, an Iraqi immigrant, said a service had just ended when the attack took place. There was little damage, he said, but the attack caused concern among some members that Muslims might have been targeted.

“You really can’t accuse one religion or a party without knowing more about it,” he said.

He said that the center, which opened in 1989, had had no disputes with anyone. It serves a diverse membership with services held in English, Arabic, Persian and Urdu. Its leaders are mostly Iraqi immigrants, and its members are mostly Lebanese.

The imam said he had heard about the attack on the Hindu temple, and added, “Some people confuse Hindus and Muslims.” The police had promised protection for the Islamic center, and the stepped-up security had reassured its members.

“We’re trying to convince them that everything’s fine,” he said.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo asked the State Police to help with the investigation, and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said, “No matter what the motivation was of the individual who threw Molotov cocktails in Queens last night, his actions stand in stark contrast to the New York City of today that we’ve built together.”

In Elmont, Bejai Rai and his wife were getting ready for bed in their home on Glafil Street around 9:40 when they heard a loud crash, Mr. Rai said, “as if the chandelier had fallen down.” One of their sons watched as a man rushed away and into a late model two-door car, either champagne or silver in color.

Mr. Rai said it appeared that the bottle had bounced off the house and crashed on the concrete walkway without setting anything afire.

“We are terribly nervous,” said Mr. Rai, a Hindu from Guyana. “If they’re going to bomb a house, to burn a house down, they want to kill us. Why would someone want to do that to us?”

Mr. Maharaj, who operates the Hindu temple, said Monday that he had not slept, but that he would conduct his usual prayer service Monday night.

The firebomber was seen on a security camera installed after a break-in last March. The attacker, Mr. Maharaj said, “should try to find God and be remorseful for what he has done.”

[UPDATE] Suspect confesses to Molotov Cocktail attacks in Queens

According to police, the suspect wanted in connection with four Molotov cocktail attacks throughout Queens has confessed.
According to police, the suspect wanted in connection with four Molotov cocktail attacks throughout Queens has confessed.

A “person of interest” picked up by police in connection with a string of five fire bombings, four in Queens and one on Long Island, has confessed to authorities.

According to police, on Tuesday, January 3, the unidentified man implicated himself in each of the five attacks, stating that he had personal grievances with each of his targets.

Before the suspect’s confession, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, along with Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other Queens elected officials, gathered at one of the targets, the Imam Al-Khoei Islamic Center in Jamaica, to condemn the attacks.

Kelly said that the suspect was picked up hours before his confession, after eyewitnesses identified his car. Police linked the suspect’s vehicle to a bodega on Hillside Avenue in Jamaica where he was thrown out on December 27 after the owner suspected him of shoplifting. As he was pushed out of the store, the man allegedly threatened the owner with retaliation.

That bodega was later firebombed, along with four other targets, with a Molotov cocktail made from a glass Starbucks bottle – one of the items the man in question was suspected of shoplifting.

According to police, the incidents occurred between 8 and 10:15 p.m. on Sunday, January 1. No injuries were reported and damage to the mosque was minimal. On Monday, January 2, police released a sketch of the suspect and video showing the man hurling a flaming bottle at a home on 170th Street that doubles as a Hindu place of worship.

The other two targets were private homes, with one house sustaining heavy fire damage in the living room, though no injuries were reported.
According to Kelly, three young children were in one of the residences at the time of the attack – a fact which could very well up the charges.
After meeting with representatives of the mosque and elected officials, Bloomberg said that the city will not tolerate violence, whether it was a senseless act or a more targeted hate crime.

“In either case, one attack is too many,” he said. “We all know that we are in this together and discrimination against one is discrimination against many.”

Borough President Helen Marshall called it a “sad day” and said that she was extremely upset by the thought of attacks like these happening in a borough as diverse as Queens.

“This man must be punished by the fullest extent of the law,” she said. “To throw bombs without knowing who is inside – it’s just wrong, and it’s not Queens.”

A man hurled crude firebombs at an Islamic cultural center in part because he wasn't allowed to use its bathrooms and targeted four other New York-area sites on New Year's Day because of personal grievances, a law enforcement official said Tuesday.

The 40-year-old man, of Guyanese descent, was taken into custody Tuesday after he was tracked through a stolen car with Virginia license plates believed to be at the scene of at least two of the attacks Sunday evening on a convenience store, three homes and the cultural center, police said.

The man, whose name hadn't been disclosed, made statements implicating himself in the attacks and had personal problems with each location, New York Police Department chief spokesman Paul Browne said. Two of the targets were homes in Queens, and one was a relative's home in neighboring Nassau County.

The relationship between Hindus and Muslim South Asian Guyanese is one of respect, love and Trust. Someone is trying to put these two groups to fight each other. I would not be suprised if it turns out to be agents of the Communist party of China.

NEW YORK — A man who confessed to a string of New Year’s Day arson attacks at an Islamic cultural center and four other sites where he had personal grievances was arrested on a hate crime charge, police said.

Ray Lazier Lengend, a 40-year-old of Guyanese descent, hurled crude firebombs at the Islamic center in part because he wasn’t allowed to use its bathrooms, a law enforcement official said.

Lengend was tracked through a stolen car with Virginia license plates believed to be at the scene of at least two of the attacks Sunday evening on a convenience store, three homes and the cultural center, police said. He was arrested Tuesday on charges including one count of arson as a hate crime, four counts of arson and five counts of criminal possession of a weapon, they said.

Lengend, who lives in Queens, was taken to a hospital for a psychiatric examination Tuesday night. He remained in custody and couldn’t be reached for comment. A man who answered a telephone call at Lengend’s home said he would not give out any information over the phone and hung up. There was no information on whether Lengend had a lawyer.

Police spokesman Paul Browne said Lengend made statements implicating himself in the attacks and had personal grievances with each targeted location. Crude firebombs were tossed at the convenience store, two homes in Queens, a home in nearby Nassau County and the Islamic center.

Authorities believe Lengend was kicked out of the convenience store on Dec. 27 for trying to steal a glass Starbucks Frappuccino bottle and milk. Four of the five firebombs thrown at the various locations were made from glass Starbucks bottles, police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. The fifth likely was made from a beer bottle.

Witnesses reported the man made threats as he was escorted out of the store, Kelly said.

“When they were pushing him out of the store, he said words to the effect that, ‘We’re going to get even. We’re going to get back at you,’” Kelly said.

No one was injured in any of the attacks, which wrought little or no damage at most of the sites.

The law enforcement official, who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the case was still being investigated, said that Lengend bought five Frappuccinos, which cost about $2 each, and was given three for free the night of the attacks. He later was seen on video at a gas station a few hours before the first bomb was tossed, apparently filling up bottles with gasoline, the official said. Paper was used as a wick for at least one of the bombs.

The first hit was at 8 p.m., when a bottle was thrown at a counter at the corner store. The bomb did not explode, but gasoline leaked out and a small fire started.

Ten minutes later, a beer bottle smashed through the glass at a nearby home, setting the curtains on fire and badly damaging it. Three children and at least two adults were inside. The official said Lengend targeted that house because he believed it to be the home of a drug dealer. Authorities say he had the right street but the wrong address and didn’t know the family inside.

About half an hour later, the Islamic center, the Imam Al-Khoei Foundation, was hit with two Molotov cocktails made from Frappuccino bottles, one at the entrance where about 80 worshippers were dining and one near a sign for the center’s grade school. Glass shards were found at the scene.

Around 9:15 p.m., a homeowner in Elmont, just east of the city, reported a possible firebomb. He heard glass shattering, smelled gasoline and found a broken glass bottle on his porch. The official said the home belonged to a relative of Lengend and they didn’t get along.

And shortly after 10 p.m., two bottles were thrown at a house that police said was used as a Hindu temple for worship services. The bottle didn’t explode but caused a small fire on the lawn. The law enforcement official said Lengend targeted the home because he believed someone with whom he once had a fight lived there.

Detectives working with surveillance footage from a few of the attacks and witness descriptions of the attacker located the car at about 11:45 p.m. and staked it out. They said they noticed the man, who fit a police description of the attacker, trying to get into it Tuesday morning and took him into custody.

Authorities believe Lengend stole the car, a late-model Buick, from a rental lot at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Dec. 30. They say they found three empty Frappuccino bottles in the backseat.
