DENVER - A Denver-area man denied Tuesday that he’s a central figure in a terrorism investigation that fed fears of a possible bomb plot and led to several police raids in New York City.
“I have nothing to do with al-Qaida...any link or any thing with al-Qaida,” Najibullah Zazi told FOX 31’s Eli Stokols, in his first televised interview, from his home in Aurora.
“I spent two days in New York, flew back, and I have nothing else to say,” he said. “I am an airport driver and that’s all I can say.”
Zazi’s aunt, Rabia Zazi, 35, confirmed in a separate interview that her nephew recently visited the Peshawar region of Pakistan — where she said he has a bride whom he married several years ago and whom he hopes to bring to the United States.
She said Zazi was born in Pakistan but moved to the United States at an early age and grew up in Queens. He moved to Colorado several months ago to help his father with his shuttle business, she said.

NEW YORK (AP) -
SNIPPET: “Hundreds of FBI agents are “on the ground in Colorado, conducting round-the-clock surveillance on five suspects,” the Daily News reported.”
SNIPPET: “The joint FBI and Homeland Security intelligence warning lists indicators that could tip off law enforcement to homemade hydrogen peroxide-based explosives, such as people with burn marks on their hands, face or arms; foul odors coming from a room or building; and large industrial fans or multiple window fans.
The warning also said that these homemade explosive materials can be hidden in backpacks, suitcases or plastic containers.
“The FBI is seriously spooked about these guys planning another 9/11,” a former senior counter terrorism official told the Daily News. “This is not some ... FBI informant-driven case. This is the real thing.””
