According to court papers filed in New York, Junaid Hussain provided detailed instructions to Munther Omar Saleh, 21, and Fareed Mumuni, 22, how to build a bomb.
A British ISIS terrorist married to ‘White Widow’ Sally Jones helped plot a deadly attack in New York after teaching two Islamic state followers how to build a bomb.
According to court papers filed in New York, Junaid Hussain provided detailed instructions to Munther Omar Saleh, 21, and Fareed Mumuni, 22, how to build the explosive device.
The two men have pleaded guilty to conspiring to support ISIS and plotting a bomb blast in the city in February 2017 and now face up to 56 years in jail.
Court filings released ahead of the sentencing of Saleh and Mumuni on February 8 show it was Hussain, from Birmingham, who they had been in touch with during the plot.
“i [sic] was considering that The statue of liberty has a very weak point in its lower back and its tilting forward, if i can get a few pressure cooker bombs to hit the weak point, i think it will fall face down,” Saleh wrote in his notes, according to the documents.
“Or we can hit times square which would be easier, but if i can get more akhs [brothers], we can perform simultaneous attacks all around NYC.”
Both men were arrested in 2015 and their plot to attack the Statue of Liberty and Times Square was foiled.

Upon arrest, the pair ran at an unmarked FBI vehicle with knives.
Unbeknown to Saleh he had been speaking to an undercover FBI agent posing as an ISIS sympathiser.
The FBI contacted Saleh in May 2015 before his arrest, mentioning Australian jihadi Neil Prakash, known by his nom de guerre Abu Khalid al Kambodi or spelt by his fellow jihadis as abukambozz.
“An akh [brother] i never met before messaged me telling me abu kambozz sent him to me,” Saleh wrote to now-dead British ISIS recruiter Junaid Hussain. “…I have to confirm with abukambozz before we can work any further.”
“Our akh Abu Khalid al kambodi told me he didn’t send anyone to me,” Saleh told Hussain.
Saleh then told the undercover agent: “Ok, akhi, problem is abukambozz denied sending u.”
He continued: “Akhi I’m very sorry but i was ordered by dawlah (ISIS) officials not to talk to anyone until they produce an akh of authority to vouch for them.”
Hussain, who at one point ranked number three on America ISIS hit list, was killed with two of his bodyguards in a drone strike on a car in a Raqqa petrol station, Syria, on August 24, 2015.
Hussain, who was 21, was married to British-born terrorist Sally Jones, 45, at the time of his death.
