FROM THE CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST NAJIBULLAH ZAZI
HT: allthingsct, for the link to the complaint.
15. On or about September 11, 2009, FBI agents conducted a legally-authorized search of the defendant ZAZI’s rental car, which was parked near the Queens Residence. During the search of the car, a laptop computer was found containing a jpeg image of nine-pages of handwritten notes (the “handwritten notes”). The handwritten notes contain formulations and instructions regarding the manufacture and handling of initiating explosives, main explosives charges, explosives detonators and components of a fuzing system.
18. On or about September 16, 2009, the defendant ZAZI was interviewed by members of the JTTF at the FBI in Denver, Colorado. The defendant ZAZI had voluntarily appeared at the offices of the FBI and agreed to answer questions. During this interview, the defendant ZAZI was questioned about, among several other topics, the handwritten notes found on his computer. During the interview, the defendant was shown the handwritten notes. The defendant stated that he had never seen the document before. He stated further that if the handwritten notes was found on his computer, he must have unintentionally downloaded it as part of a religious book he had downloaded in August 2009. He stated that he had immediately deleted the religious book within days of downloading it after realizing that its contents discussed jihad. He stated that he had not handwritten the notes.
19. During the same interview, the defendant was asked about his email accounts, and listed three accounts, including an account known to law enforcement (”Account A”). The investigation has determined that the password for Account A is a nine-digit number. The investigation has revealed the existence of two email accounts known to law enforcement (”Account B” and “Account C”). A search of Account B registered to a “Kado Khan,” reveals that another email account known to law enforcement (”the originating account”) sent a message to Account B with the handwritten notes included as an attachment on or about December 2, 2008. The password for the email account is the same nine digit password at the password for Account A. A search of the Account C, registered to a “kado gul” in Peshawar, Pakistan, reveals the originating account also sent an email with the handwritten notes as an attachment to Account C on or about December 3, 2008. Account C can be opened with a six-digit password that has the same first six digits of the passwords for Accounts A and B. Based on the similarity of addresses and identity of passwords, I believe that the defendant controlled Account A as well as Accounts B and C, both of which received the handwritten notes by email on early December 2008.

“Qaeda’s training area in Pakistan is ‘the most dangerous spot on the map’”

SNIPPET: “The lawless area between Pakistan and Afghanistan - where an Afghan terror suspect arrested in Denver admitted he was trained by Al Qaeda - has been called “the most dangerous spot on the map.”
If the United States suffers another 9/11-style attack, experts expect it will be born there, in the region known as the Federally Administered Tribal Areas.
“If the United States is going to get hit, it’s going to come out of the planning that the [Al Qaeda] leadership in the FATA is generating,” Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in June 2008.
A Center for Strategic and International Studies report this year described the area as a “witches’ brew of terror and militancy” that is now ground zero of the U.S. war against extremism.
About 3 million Pashtun tribesmen - along with 1 million Afghan refugees - live in the FATA region, which is roughly the size of Massachusetts. Chief terror suspect Najibullah Zazi and his father, Mohammed Zazi, also under arrest, are Pashtuns from there.”
