DENVER – An Afghan immigrant wanted to carry out a massive New York City terror attack involving hydrogen peroxide bombs on commuter trains to coincide with the Sept. 11 anniversary before federal authorities foiled the plan, a U.S. prosecutor said Friday.

U.S. prosecutor Tim Neff told a federal judge in Denver that Najibullah Zazi "was intent on being in New York on 9/11" for a possible terror attack.

"The defendant was in the throes of making a bomb and attempting to perfect his formulation," Neff said. He called the evidence a "chilling, disturbing sequence of events."

Neff ordered Zazi, a 24-year-old Afghan-born coffee cart owner in New York and Denver airport shuttle driver, transferred to New York City to face charges of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction. ..

We're going to get bits and pieces....What we'd like is the truth....Waht we're going to get is "Obama Saved Us"....

It would be nice if Obama and friends looked at Afghanistan as "terrorist training grounds".

THAT'S A REASON TO "WIN THE WAR"!!!!!!!

Oh, great: 8 million NYers in the city and the FBI would’ve just let him drive on in to implement the bomb plot. But because Obama was in the city, they actually had to move in to disrupt it. Jeesh!

Hydrogen peroxide when concentrated is a powerful oxidizer.

Bomb has 2 main ingredients: oxidizer + fuel.

A bomb can be made with 2 grocery store ingredients: hydrogen peroxide (needs to be concentrated) + Tang.

After this capture I heard a real liberal say “I guess there really are terrorists but 60 thousand people die a year in car accidents”

[cups]

I say we investigate those Feds who foiled this plot! How many rights were violated to gather this information!?

AG Eric Holder, start the investigation now!!!!

“...involving hydrogen peroxide bombs...”

Oh man! So everyone would have become a bleached blonde?? Oh, the horror! Oh, the humanity!!

[Incorrigible]

[rod1]

So the liberal equates car accidents with mass murder.
It figures.

[b4its2late]

Released on bail? He should be in gitmo.

[uncitizen]

So this guy was a double agent....and now he’s out on bail....Wow...America, what a country!

[Clemenza]

Mayor Bloomberg said pretty much the same thing a few years back.

[ncfool]

What would a hydrogen peroxide bomb do! i’m unfamilar with the effects?

Glad they caught them but Obama will give them a free pass as the guy will claim it was for his teeth.
