Najibullah Zazi, Denver man accused in N.Y. terror plot, pleads guilty - washingtonpost.com: "An Afghan immigrant pleaded guilty Monday to attempting to bomb New York City's subway system around last year's anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, in what authorities called the group's most serious domestic terrorism plot in nearly two decades.
Najibullah Zazi, 25, a former Denver airport shuttle driver and New York street vendor, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. He also admitted to conspiring to commit murder overseas and to supporting terrorists. Under terms of a plea deal, Zazi faces a life sentence of prison without parole.
Zazi said in court that he planned a 'martyrdom operation' in Manhattan after training with al-Qaeda in Pakistan, the Reuters news service reported, indicating increased cooperation by Zazi and associates in providing intelligence to U.S. investigators.
He was accused of trying to mix triacetone triperoxide, a chemical explosive used in the 2005 London train bombings, through using hair care products bought by associates last summer in beauty shops in a Denver suburb."
