U.S. indicts Denver man in bombing conspiracy

[from deep in the article, snipping a bunch of stuff we already know]

The detention motion also alleges that at least three other men, like Zazi, purchased “unusually large” quantities of hydrogen peroxide or acetone from beauty supply stores in the Denver area — an indication that they were also conspiring to mix the chemicals into homemade bombs, authorities said. And it said that Zazi “and others” flew from Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey to Peshawar, Pakistan via Switzerland and Qatar in August 2008.

It does not identify the men or allege that they too trained in Al Qaeda camps, but some U.S. officials said that they have been urgently pursuing that possibility.

As further evidence that Zazi was serious, authorities alleged in the detention memo that they found evidence that he had heated the chemicals on the stove of an Aurora apartment unit he had rented Aug. 28. “Importantly, the bomb-making notes [found on his laptop] contemplate heating the components in order to make them highly concentrated.”

The detention motion alleges that Zazi plotted for more than a year to launch the bomb plot, that he had recently bought some bomb-making supplies from beauty supply stores and that he was looking for “urgent” help in the last two weeks to make homemade bombs. On Sept. 6 and 7, before he set off in a rental car for New York, Zazi tried on multiple times to communicate with another individual “seeking to correct mixtures of ingredients to make explosives.”

“Each communication,” the detention motion alleged, was “more urgent in tone than the last.”

Feds: Suspect hit beauty stores for bomb supplies
By TOM HAYS and DEVLIN BARRETT (AP) – 42 minutes ago

(snip most of article)

A second, unrelated indictment unsealed Thursday in the same court charged a Brooklyn man with supporting terrorism in what authorities say is an investigation. An indictment alleges Betim Kaziu traveled to Pakistan this year to try to receive training from a militant group linked to al-Qaida, and tried to go to Afghanistan and Iraq to fight against U.S. forces there.

Kaziu was to be arraigned later Thursday. Prosecutors did not have the name of his attorney
