But a spokesman for Buckeye Partners, the company that operates the
pipeline, said that an explosion at a fuel-tank farm at the airport would
not ignite the pipeline.

"It's not like the pipeline is a stick of dynamite and the whole thing would
blow up," said Roy Haase, the Buckeye spokesman. "Pipelines don't blow up."

One law enforcement official played down Mr. Defreitas's skills as a
terrorist, calling him "a sad sack" and "not a Grade A terrorist."

But the officials said Mr. Defreitas, who had long worked at the 4,930-acre
airport, developing a thorough knowledge of its layout and its
vulnerabilities, sought an attack that he said, according to secretly
recorded conversations, would result in "the destruction of the whole of
Kennedy," an attack that only a few people would survive.

In addition to a huge loss of life "even the twin towers can't touch it,"
he said of the plot the attack would devastate the United States economy
and strike a deep symbolic blow against a national icon, President John F.
Kennedy.

The officials described an investigation that began in January and included
an undercover F.B.I. informant, who was introduced to Mr. Defreitas early in
planning of the attack and who traveled to Guyana and Trinidad with him in
an effort to win support for it, officials said.

The informant secretly recorded "numerous" conversations, and one law
enforcement official said there was also "all sorts of electronic
surveillance" of the suspects.

But he noted that his efforts to solicit the backing and blessing of Jamaat
Al Muslimeen, which conducted a deadly attack on Trinidad's Parliament
during a failed coup attempt in 1990, could have had devastating
consequences.

"They didn't have the money and they didn't have the bombs, but if we let it
go it could have gotten there they could have gotten the J.A.M. fully
involved, and we wouldn't know where it could have gone," the official said.
