Bomb plot suspect escapes prison, recaptured
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Wali Khan Amin Shah, jailed on charges of conspiring to blow up an airliner in the Philippines, broke out of a Manhattan prison Tuesday but was recaptured, federal authorities said Wednesday.
Robert Manco, executive assistant for the Manhattan Correctional Center, said Shah was discovered missing from the prison's rooftop recreation area at 6:15 a.m. Tuesday but was discovered by prison guards shortly thereafter standing on another roof four stories above the 12-story recreation roof.
Shah was arrested in December in Malaysia and brought to the United States to join two other suspects charged in the conspiracy to bomb airlines. One of the suspects is Ramzi Yousef, the alleged mastermind of the World Trade Center bombing. The suspects will be tried in March.
