“Former coffee-cart vendor could face more charges”
By Mary Reinholz
SNIPPET: “Federal prosecutors may seek additional charges against suspected terrorist Najibullah Zazi, the bearded 24-year-old Afghan immigrant and former Stone St. vendor who once sold donuts and coffee minutes from ground zero. The former Queens resident was indicted Sept. 23 on a single count of conspiring unsuccessfully to attack New York with weapons of mass destruction: i.e. homemade bombs he allegedly planned to construct out of beauty supplies and detonate around the eighth anniversary of 9/11.
On Dec. 3, Zazi emerged from solitary confinement at the Metropolitan Detention Center and sat motionless in Brooklyn Federal Court, looking eerily calm in his navy-blue prison smock during a brief status hearing before Chief Justice Raymond J. Dearie on the tenth floor.
“I think it’s very likely there will be additional charges,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Knox in his remarks to the judge. “We are still evaluating evidence. My expectation is that we will be seeking a superseding indictment.”
He did not say what the new charges would be. But Knox, who heads the Violent Crimes and Terrorism Division in the Eastern District, described the discovery evidence obtained from search warrants as “voluminous” and ongoing, noting it included material on residences, e-mail contacts and classified information on Zazi and his alleged associates “that would take about three months to evaluate and transcribe” from Arabic dialects.”
