The Aurora man under FBI investigation for alleged ties to a New York bomb plot has admitted he has ties to al-Qaida and is in negotiations to plead guilty to a terror charge, a senior law enforcement official told ABC News.
The official said Zazi had received explosives training and his possible guilty plea would be part of a deal to cooperate with the government.
The 24-year-old Zazi had insisted he had "no ties, no connection to al-Qaida" in interviews with reporters earlier this week.
But after two eight-hour interrogations at the FBI offices in Denver on Wednesday and Thursday, Zazi told a different story this morning, the law enforcement official said.
Zazi's attorney, Arthur Folsom, called the reports "completely unfounded."
I want to know who his friends are, where they are, what they’re doing and why they’re in our country.
“Zazi’s attorney, Arthur Folsom, called the reports “completely unfounded.””
There’s a Folsom Prison Blues joke here somewhere.
LIBS...THEY PROBLY TORTURED HIM! Lets arrest the FBI and the CIA!
Probably on his way to the Club-Fed version for Al Queda with this administrations policies...
OMG...if those mean FBI people in Denver tried to snowboard him I will call the ACLU faster than Obama can lie...snowboarding is horrible! My heart goes out for this terrorist...ALLTHOUGH in other countries he’d be dead by now :)
When it comes to unnamed federal law enforcement sources levelling allegations, it's good to remember Richard Jewell.
I demand a full investigation of the interrogation techniques used!
makes me really in the mood for the big muzzie march on DC.
/sarc. They cannot be loyal Americans because their relgion is their government.
Bring that muzzie rag head scum down South, and let us take care of him. I guarantee he will spill the beans. He’ll be begging for the waterboard.
relgion=religion. oops
“hey look..Obama’s new policies work”
I say waterboard his ass...
Me, too, especially since they found some of his co-belligerents not two miles from my parents’ house in North Carolina.
Maybe. By going this route he can avoid discovery processes that would revel his ties, plans, and so forth. If he pleads guilty lots of this won’t come out.
I am sure there will be some big, ol’ “Free Zazi” signs floating around that Muslim fire drill.
Watch out Denver FBI. The Attorney General will now investigate the hell out of you for unlawful interrogation techniques. Everyone knows you can’t interrogate someone for two eight hour days while letting them sleep in their own bed at night. Its 30 minutes tops. And you should apologize every 5 minutes. And give them a shoulder massage and a hot towel if they look at all tense.
they must have used torture...is anyone going to defend this terrorist
Flew out of DIA this Tuesday and there were police and security everywhere one looked.
That said, landed in Newark Liberty and there was not a policeman in sight.
