“Subway Bomb Plotter Testifies Against Accomplice”

SNIPPET: “The man who led a plot to bomb New York subways in 2009 told in a Brooklyn federal court Wednesday that he was trained to make explosives at an al-Qaida compound in Pakistan and he had no issues killing innocent people, even babies, in the attack.
Najibullah Zazi, who pleaded guilty to his crimes, appeared as a government witness in the prosecution of an accomplice.
“We needed to send a message to the United States, especially Obama,” Zazi testified.
In exchange for a reduced prison sentence, the 27-year-old Zazi agreed to cooperate with federal investigators in the prosecution of his alleged accomplice and former high school classmate, Adis Medunjanin.
Medunjanin, 28, is accused of conspiring to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan, providing material support to al Qaida and plotting to use weapons of mass destruction on American soil. He claims that he backed out of the plot.
Zazi accepted most of the responsibility for the plot, saying he and convicted co-conspirator, Zarein Ahmedzay handled more details because they were better liars than Medunjanin.”
