Excerpt:
The FBI built bridges with Brooklyn's Muslim community last weekend with the help of some really serious firepower.
The G-Men, as well as other federal agencies, flocked to Kingsborough Community College in Manhattan Beach last Saturday for the first-ever FBI Muslim Youth Conference — and met 300 youngsters with one open hand and another holding bombs and rocket launchers.
Organizers say that the equipment — which included a helicopter — were just show-and-tell pieces as each agency explained what the items did and what they stood for.
"This is an important community outreach initiative," said FBI Public Affairs Officer Tim Flannelly. "We genuinely want to foster good relationships in this community by showcasing what our capabilities are and let them know that they, too, can have opportunities in these fields if they choose."
