Federal authorities have arrested another member of an extremist Jewish sect in what the FBI has called a new plot to abduct two New York children who recently fled the ultra-orthodox group called Lev Tahore.

Members of the cult had earlier vowed to re-abduct the children, whose mother had already rescued them three times from the Guatemala-based group, The New York Post reported.
