FBI: Active terror cell aimed at “real deal” NYC attack ( ZAZI meant to do Damage )
Hot Air ^ | 1:36 pm on September 21, 2009 | Ed Morrissey

Two new reports from ABC and the Washington Post underscore the “real deal” nature of the al-Qaeda terror cell uncovered this month in a flurry of arrests and search warrants.  Sources within the investigation now claim that Najibullah Zazi left his fingerprints all over evidence that points to a terrorist attack, which may account for his reported flirtation with a plea bargain.  Others tell ABC that they haven’t yet identified all the plotters:

Investigators said they found notes describing how to make bombs in the handwriting of an airport shuttle driver arrested as part of a terrorism investigation, and they also discovered his fingerprints on materials — batteries and a scale — that could be used to make explosives.

The emerging details show that Najibullah Zazi, who has admitted receiving weapons training from al-Qaeda, played a direct role in an alleged terror plot, authorities said in court documents released Sunday. …

The FBI said it found images of nine pages of handwritten notes on a laptop containing formulas and instructions for making a bomb, detonators and a fuse.

Zazi told the FBI that he must h ave unintentionally downloaded the notes as part of a religious book he downloaded in August. Zazi said he “immediately deleted the religious book within days of downloading it after realizing that its contents discussed jihad.” However, an arrest affidavit says the handwriting on the notes appeared to be Zazi’s. The affidavit doesn’t mention that they were part of a book, but that they were e-mailed as an attachment between accounts believed owned by Zazi in December, including an account that originated in Pakistan.

“It appeared to be consistent with the handwriting as it appeared in the document,” an FBI agent wrote.........

From Hot Air:

Kuby was a protege of William Kunstler, who made his reputation by defending radicals in the 1960s and 1970s.

Wasn’t he also (along with Guardian Angels’ Curtis Sliwa)half of the morning show on WABC-AM for many years?

It’s statements like this that give the other side fuel to call us “fringe” or “radical”. I can’t even wrap my head around the insanity of your statement. If you want to be taken seriously, be serious, don’t throw crap like that out there. Let the other side say the stupid stuff, don’t give them a smoke break with with that kind of bile.

“.....Pakistanis are not Arabs.”

A good point. Neither are the Iranians.
