Informant offered liver transplant for Bronx terror suspect's brother, sez mom
The mother of Bronx terror suspect David Williams said the government snitch who cozied up to her son promised him a liver transplant for his dying brother - and even drove the pea-brained plotter to Queens to face charges of groping a woman on a city bus.

Elizabeth McWilliams said the informant, Shahed (Malik) Hussain, befriended her son in March as the family worried how it would afford a transplant for the would-be bomber's brother, who has a terminal illness, the immunity disorder sarcoidosis.

"He promised he would take care of it," McWilliams said, recalling what her son - whom she called "Little David" - told her about Hussain's pledge.

"He said, 'Don't worry, mom. I'm going to be able to give you money on to help you with the Lord.'"

Williams, 28, an ex-con who had done prison time for dealing drugs, was busted Wednesday along with three accomplices as they tried to bomb two Bronx synagogues. The FBI had been tailing the plotters for more than a year, using Hussain as a middleman.

Authorities sold the diabolical dimwits fake plastic explosives, along with a disarmed missile, which they had planned to use to shoot an airplane out of the sky.

McWilliams said Hussain, 52, set up her son by exploiting his brother's illness. The snitch even took the Jew-hating band out to dinner at a T.G.I. Friday's restaurant in Newburgh the night before they were collared, she said.

"It seemed like a celebration," she added.

4. I doubt it.
The reporter probably would have included that event in the article if it happened.

3. Williams, McWilliams, very confusing.
I'll go with diabolical dimwits. I read they got high before they did the 'deed'.

Not too serious, were they. Or just dumber than boxes of rocks.
