“Najibullah Zazi and the New York/Colorado raids”

SNIPPET: “Over the weekend, three men were arrested and charged in the ongoing terror probe centered around New York and Colorado. The three men are Najibullah Zazi, 24, his father Mohammed Wali Zazi, 53, and Ahmad Wais Afzali, 37. Though all three were charged with making false statements to authorities, terrorism charges are likely to follow; authorities have said that the false statement charges “are designed to keep them in custody while more serious charges are considered.” At this point, there remain a large number of significant unanswered questions. However, I have spoken with a range of intelligence and law enforcement sources, and they believe that the combination of capabilities, desire to strike, and concrete steps taken likely make this the most serious terrorist plot on U.S. soil since 9/11. (The 2006 transatlantic air plot was more serious, and would have been devastating to the U.S., but planning occurred in Britain.) Some key highlights follow.”
