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."
How are the Uigers doing? Still on the beach making sand castles?
poor things, right in the middle of hurricane season too
Your post makes me LOL.
“You didn’t say we couldn’t snowboard him!”
This is an old report. Since then he has denied making any statements connecting him to alQaeda, then didn’t show up for his meeting with FBI on Sat. and now last night was arrested along with his father for lying to FBI
This is beginning to look bad for the FBI.
