NJ Terrorist Hideout Turns Out To Be NYPD Spy Operation?

A building superintendent for an apartment complex just off the Rugers University campus called the New Brunswick Police 911 line to inform them that he had discovered suspicious activity. In performing an inspection that is required he entered an apartment that he believed has suspicious activity going on in it. In fact, he thought it might be an apartment that a terrorist cell was using.

The superintendent, Salil Sheth, had not stumbled upon a terrorist’s apartment, but rather a safe house where undercover NYPD officers working outside their department’s jurisdiction, they were in New Jersey, could lie low and be involved in surveillance.

According to the 911 call that took place in June 2009, which the AP recently obtained after requesting, being denied and finally suing to obtain, the superintendent defined what he saw as suspicious to the dispatcher. “Suspicious in the sense that the apartment has about — has no furniture except two beds, has no clothing, has New York City Police Department radios.”

“There’s computer hardware, software, you know, just laying around,” the caller continued.
