A mentally unstable Muslim convert tried to recruit help at a Brooklyn mosque to kill Mayor Bloomberg, prompting the NYPD to beef up security around the mayor, law enforcement sources said.
American-born Edwin Thomas allegedly spoke of his plot in August at the Al Farooq mosque in Brooklyn, the source said.
But worshipers promptly alerted the authorities.
