The junkie Greenwich Village bomb-nut had a mad plot to blow up the Washington Square Arch, and boasted his rich parents were worried he would "kill 100 people," police said.
Aaron Greene, 31, claimed in a letter to upstate friend Daniel Whittaker his wealthy parents had sent him to Greece because he was hell-bent on mayhem, police sources told the Daily News.
The undated letter was found in the ritzy W. 9th St. apartment where Greene and his then-pregnant gal pal, Morgan Gliedman, 27, were busted in late December with explosives, terrorist how-to books and a mini arsenal, sources said.
Greene signed another correspondence with the Nazi SS lightning bolts, and scribbled "kill" and "kill them all" dozens of times on a paper, sources said.
But Greene's thirst for chaos was not mere fantasy.
"I'm making bombs," Greene told his friends in Washington Square Park in November, according to NYPD spokesman Paul Browne.
"Why?" the friends asked.
"To blow up the Arch," Greene allegedly responded.
He then placed a small amount of the compound HTMD on the pavement and struck it with a rock, creating an explosion, Browne said.
Greene faces felony possession of firearms and explosives charges.
Gliedman - Greene's rich girlfriend-gone-bad - is in rehab and faces drug charges from Feb. 2012, along with weapons charges from the recent bust. She had little knowledge of her junkie lover's schemes, said police sources.
The chilling details came a day after investigators stormed the home of Whittaker, a Rockland County Sherriff's correction officer who has been suspended following an 2010 arrest for possession of cocaine and fleeing a police vehicle.
Cops were led to Whittaker after Greene admitted he stashed a more weapons at a law enforcement buddy's place. When cops searched Whittaker's Orangeburg, N.Y. apartment, they found 21 guns, including an Uzi, a stun gun, gravity knife and brass knuckles. Whittaker has not yet been charged.
Reached at home, a stressed Whittaker had little to say.
"I'm sorry I can't talk to you right now...I'm dealing with a lot of stuff," he said before slamming the door of his apartment, which had been dented by Wednesday's raid.
Investigators have been unable to reach Greene's parents, who may be in Greece, a police source said.
