The FBI has uncovered what officials consider a serious plot by Muslims to bomb the Holland Tunnel in hopes of causing a torrent of water to deluge lower Manhattan, the Daily News has learned. The terrorists sought to drown the Financial District as New Orleans was by Hurricane Katrina, sources said. They also wanted to attack subways and other tunnels. The Muslims wanted to detonate a massive amount of explosives inside the Holland Tunnel to blast a hole that would destroy the tunnel, everyone in it, and send a devastating flood shooting through the streets of lower Manhattan. It is assumed by officials the Muslims would try to use vehicles packed with explosives.
At the request of U.S. officials, authorities in Beirut arrested one of the alleged conspirators, identified as Amir Andalousli, a Muslim.
