New York brothers face 130 charges over huge weapons stash and celebrity 'hitlist' Andrew Hatziagelis, 39, and Angelo Hatziagelis, 51, from Astoria in Queens, were remanded in custody after police said the pair harbored “evil intent.” Two brothers were indicted on 130 criminal charges in New York City on Tuesday, over a vast collection of 3D-printed guns, improvised explosives, anarchist propaganda and a "hit list" referencing "celebrities" and other authority figures. Andrew Hatziagelis, 39, and Angelo Hatziagelis, 51, from Astoria in Queens, were remanded in custody after police said the pair harbored "evil intent." Among the weapons cache were eight "fully operable" bombs, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said. So-called ghost guns can be printed at home using designs found online. It was the purchase of components for these weapons that alerted the Queens District Authority's Crime Strategies & Intelligence Bureau to the pair's activity, leading to a six-month investigation, authorities said. Police said they obtained a warrant on Jan. 17 and searched their address, finding a vast array of weapons, including: two loaded AR-15-style ghost guns, each with detachable magazines; a partially-constructed bomb trip-wire; four loaded 9mm semiautomatic ghost gun pistols, two of them 3D-printed; one AK-47-style ghost gun assault rifle and more than 600 rounds of ammunition. Such was officers' concern about the explosives that they evacuated the entire building on 36th Avenue, which is opposite a power plant. Police said the two men lived with their mother and another brother, neither of whom are facing charges, NBC New York reported. Police also found a 3D printer and other tools to assemble the ghost guns, as well as three sets of body armor and various notebooks on how to make explosives, plus anarchist propaganda. nbcnews.com This is only about fifth or sixth real domestic terrorism plot since 9/11. Almost all of the Al Qaeda and ISIS plots were set ups by an FBI agent providing cash, weapons, training, etc. Like the other real plots, this one involved two or more family member which allowed the plot to be planned out in confidence.
