Buffalo six
The Buffalo six was a group of alleged Al-Qaida terrorists.The terrorists travelled to Afghanistan in Spring 2001. They were arrested in Lackawanna, New York, near Buffalo, New York in September 2002.
One of the members, Muktar Al-Bakri, sent an obscure e-mail describing the plot "Big Meal" which would have used explosives.
All six pleaded guilty in court to terrorism related charges. They were Mukhtar Al-Bakri, Sahim Alwan, Faysal Galab, Shafal Mosed, Yaseinn Taher, and Yahya Goba. Another member of the Lackawanna Cell, named Jaber Elbaneh, is still at large.
Kamal Derwish, the man who recruited the Buffalo six was assassinated by the CIA in Yemen.
