Zazi admitted to ties to al Qaeda and appears to be willing to plead guilty to terror charges. It also appears as if the FBI wants to talk to his father. Zazi was trained in explosives and is said to have driven to NYC a day before the 9/11 anniversary while having a bomb diagram on a laptop computer in his car. Also see Rusty for more.
Najibullah Zazi reportedly told officials that he had received explosives training and his possible guilty plea would be part of a deal to cooperate with the government.
Najibullah Zazi reportedly told officials that he had received explosives training and his possible guilty plea would be part of a deal to cooperate with the government.
An attorney for Zazi issued the following statement on Friday: "The FBI has asked to speak to my client's father, Mr. Mohammed Zazi, and we are cooperating fully with the FBI's request."
The 24-year-old Zazi had earlier insisted that he had no connection with Al Qaeda, but after two eight-hour interrogations at the FBI offices in Denver on Wednesday and Thursday, Zazi told law enforcement a different story Friday.
Something smells fishy about this one.

If I am Zazi and being interrogated by the FBI, the deal to Zazi would be, we will ship you off the Land of the Free and you will be interred and interrogated by some other country where Waterboarding and other unkind events can and will happen. Zazi came to his senses and realized that his options were to be confined in the US penal system where he will get 3 squares per day, room with a bed, unlimited health care, no potential availability of being waterboarded, and an occasional visit from the overzealous friends and relatives. Seems like a better option.

I agree, mark. This one was just too easy. Here, again, we need to watch the other hand, Zazi's other hand.

Well, terrorism doesn’t stop on our account, because we have been so careful after 9-11, does not mean our current government understands the implications of these US haters. Who will ever understand hot great heir hate is for us and our freedom???
