NEW YORK – The man accused of possibly plotting to blow up the New York City subways will face more FBI questioning on Friday. Najibullah Zazi, 24, identified by law enforcement officials as possibly having ties to Al Qaeda, arrived at the FBI's Denver offices for eight hours of questioning late Thursday. He's due back Friday.
The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force went through the home of Zazi, as well as the nearby residence of his aunt, Rabia Zazi. Zazi denies that he's a central figure in a terrorism investigation that fed fears of a possible bomb plot and led to several police raids in New York City on Monday.
Zazi, who authorities have said trained at a Pakistani terror camp, reportedly had bomb-making diagrams on a computer that he carried with him on a visit to New York. Zazi's attorney denies these allegations.
The laptop was in Zazi's car as Zazi drove from Colorado to New York City, arriving the day before the 8th anniversay of the attacks of Sept. 11.
Zazi has cooperated with the investigation, answering all the FBI agents' questions except for one requiring him to speculate about the actions of the NYPD, his lawyer told The Associated Press.
