ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Three young men accused of plotting to attack a Muslim community in upstate New York with homemade explosives pleaded guilty Friday. Vincent Vetromile, 20, pleaded guilty to first-degree attempted criminal possession of a weapon. Brian Colaneri, 20, and Andrew Crysel, 19, pleaded guilty to terrorism-related conspiracy. Police and community members have dismissed accusations that the Muslims of America enclave is a terrorist training ground. In 2017, a Tennessee man was convicted of federal charges for what authorities called plans to burn down Islamberg’s mosque.
