The heightened security for the Republican convention resulted in four Pakistani students from St. John’s University being detained in Times Square last night.
The four, who were in a burgundy van, were taken into custody shortly after 5 p.m. outside the Marriott Marquis hotel on Broadway and West 45th Street after cops thought they were acting suspiciously.

August 29, 2004
Two men charged with plotting to blow up the Herald Square subway station were also planning a “holy war” rampage against seven other crucial targets around the city %u2014 including at least two other stations, three police precincts and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, officials said yesterday.
“They had the intention to cause damage, to kill people,” said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. But “they did not immediately have the means to do it.”
Shahawar Matin Siraj, 21, a “loose cannon” from Pakistan, and James El Shafay, 19, a Pakistan-born U.S. citizen from Staten Island, were charged with conspiracy.
