Suspect indicted in NYC synagogue plot terror case

MIDTOWN

Prosecutors said Tuesday that /*Ahmed Ferhani*/ had been indicted.

The charges will likely be unveiled at a June 16 court date.

Ferhani and co-defendant /*Mohamed Mamdouh*/ were arraigned last week on initial charges including conspiracy as a crime of terrorism, a rarely-used state law. Both deny the allegations.

Mamdouh's lawyer agreed Tuesday to give prosecutors until June 2 to take the case against Mamdouh to a grand jury.

Prosecutors say the men were recorded discussing a synagogue attack. They say Ferhani was arrested buying guns, ammunition and an inert grenade.
