An almost too detailed depiction of the Najibullah Zazi’s 2009 jihad plot to bomb NYC subways. If you have time read it, otherwise, some troubling excerpts via Homegrown Terror | 5280 – The Denver Magazine.
As Zazi began driving the last 500 miles to New York, his case finally had the full attention of the U.S. government. The eighth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks was a day away, and Davis was now doing regular secure video teleconferences with the heads of the New York field office and the FBI’s National Security Branch, among others. During one video call, an official cut Davis off: “Hold on, that’s the White House calling.” The case was being briefed right up to President Obama....Two years later, as the nation somberly marked the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks with yet another vague terror threat against New York City, Zazi has disappeared from public view. Although his guilty plea suggested he would face life in prison, Zazi’s first scheduled sentencing date—June 25, 2010—came and went with no word or sign of him. It was rescheduled several times over the following year, but to date Zazi hasn’t made a subsequent court appearance. The FBI and the Justice Department both declined to comment on Zazi’s whereabouts. He was moved long ago from the detention facility in Brooklyn to an undisclosed location.

Najibullah Zazi, 24, plotted for more than a year to set off bombs in the United States — specifically on New York City trains and subways, according to federal documents. Zazi was indicted Thursday on federal charges of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction in a possible Al Qaeda-linked bomb plot on United States soil
Oh great.
Guilty of terrorism and they let him go?
jeez
The fact that the government isn't responding to FOIA requests is troubling.
This is a little too Stalin-esque for me.
Nothing to see. Move along.
Perhaps he's at "The Farm."
I've often wondered if bin Laden is there as well.
Probably playing golf with Omoslem.
NEW YORK — An Afghan immigrant trained in explosives by al-Qaida traveled from the terrorist camps of Pakistan to the beauty shops of suburban Denver for chemical ingredients to make bombs, authorities charged in papers describing one of the most significant post-Sept. 11 terror threats to the United States.
Najibullah Zazi scoured the Internet for hydrogen peroxide and ingredients for explosives used in the 2005 London transit bombings and by convicted “shoe-bomber” Richard Reid, cooked chemicals in a Colorado hotel room and sought help from an associate to find the right mixture to make the perfect bomb, court papers say.
Most chilling in the 12-page memorandum outlining the alleged terror plot was the repeated phrase “and others,” evidence of a possible al-Qaida cell plotting a homemade bomb attack on U.S. soil.
He apologized and Chaz Napolitano got him a job as a TSA screener at an undisclosed airport...
Don’t look in Arab communities here because that could be profiling and racist.
