Alberto Gonzales, the US attorney-general, claimed the arrested men, five from the US and two from Haiti, were inspired by a “violent jihadist message”. Narseal Batiste, 32, and his followers swore an oath of allegiance to Al-Qaeda and requested help from an undercover agent to buy weapons, explosives and uniforms, according to the indictment. He sought $50,000 to fund his mission and boasted that his attacks would be “as good or greater than 9/11”. Batiste’s targets were said to have included the Miami FBI building as well as the Sears Tower, America’s tallest building. He was secretly recorded and filmed by the FBI, which infiltrated the group after a tip-off from a member of the public. No weapons or explosives have been found at the windowless warehouse that Batiste called the “temple” in a rundown area of Miami.

No, they were would-be terrorists who were caught in Miami trying to gather enough money to buy enough explosives to destroy the Sears Tower. They were no where near it and they were no where near completion of the plot.

Well, I can guess the following happened:
A cab was driving erratically
A crazy guy was yelling incoherently
People were asked for spare change
A bunch of people paid to take an express elevator to the observation deck
Insane prices were charged for parking
