A second, unrelated indictment unsealed Thursday in the same court charged a Brooklyn man with supporting terrorism in what authorities say is an investigation. An indictment alleges Betim Kaziu traveled to Pakistan this year to try to receive training from a militant group linked to al-Qaida, and tried to go to Afghanistan and Iraq to fight against U.S. forces there.
Kaziu was to be arraigned later Thursday. Prosecutors did not have the name of his attorney

Najibullah Zazi Indicted for Conspiracy to Use Explosives Against Persons or Property in the United States
The Justice Department today announced that Najibullah Zazi, 24, a resident of Aurora, Colo., and legal permanent resident of the United States from Afghanistan, has been indicted in the Eastern District of New York on a charge of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction (explosive bombs) against persons or property in the United States.
FBI agents in Colorado first arrested Zazi on Sept. 19, 2009 pursuant to a criminal complaint charging him with knowingly and willfully making false statements to the FBI in a matter involving international and domestic terrorism. Zazi made an initial court appearance on those charges in the District of Colorado on Sept. 21, 2009. The government will ask that those charges be dismissed and that Zazi be transferred to New York to face this new charge.
Yesterday, a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of New York returned a one-count indictment alleging that between Aug. 1, 2008 and Sept. 21, 2009, Zazi knowingly and intentionally conspired with others to use one or more weapons of mass destruction, specifically explosive bombs and other similar explosive devices, against persons or property within the United States. The indictment also alleges that, in furtherance of this offense, Zazi and others traveled in interstate and foreign commerce, used email and the Internet, and that this offense and the results of the offense would have affected interstate and foreign commerce.
“The indictment alleges that Najibullah Zazi conspired with others to use explosive devices against persons or property in the United States,” said Attorney General Eric Holder. “We are investigating a wide range of leads related to this alleged conspiracy, and we will continue to work around the clock to ensure that anyone involved is brought to justice. We believe any imminent threat arising from this case has been disrupted, but as always, we remind the American public to be vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.”
In a detention motion filed in the Eastern District of New York and the District of Colorado, the government stated, “In furtherance of the conspiracy, Zazi received detailed bomb-making instructions in Pakistan, purchased components of improvised explosive devices, and traveled to New York City on September 10, 2009 in furtherance of his criminal plans.”
The government’s detention memo further states that “Zazi remained committed to detonating an explosive device up until the date of his arrest, as exemplified by among other things, traveling overseas to receive bomb-making instructions, conducting extensive research on the internet regarding components of explosive devices, purchasing — on multiple occasions — the components necessary to produce TATP [Triacetone Triperoxide] and other explosive devices, and traveling to New York City on September 10, 2009 in furtherance of the criminal plan.”
The Justice Department will seek to have Zazi transferred from the District of Colorado to the Eastern District of New York to be arraigned on the charge in the Brooklyn indictment. If convicted of the charge in the indictment, Zazi faces a potential sentence of life in prison.
The prosecution is being handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, with assistance from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado and the Counterterrorism Section of the Justice Department’s National Security Division.
The investigation is being conducted by the New York and Denver FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces, which combined have investigators from more than fifty federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.
The public is reminded that an indictment contains mere allegations and a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Very interesting comment. That's been bothering me from about Day 2. So much so I haven't posted about it. Equally disturbing and possibly related: Where are all the usual phony muslim civil rights groups? They've always been 1 second behind every story of perceived slight or alleged discrimination or suspected Muslim terrorism with a fierce media campaign and press releases, joint appearances with LE decrying terrorism, bankrolling legal defenses, etc. But now? SILENCE. Why?
The Muslim-in-Chief is silent as well. Not a word.
So much is so wrong with this picture. Like you said, very weird.
Both Muslims.
Both Bombers.
Both attempting to blow up innocent Americans.
Both performing RELIGIOUS DUTY as proscribed by the koran.
Both loyal only to Allah.
Both willing to die or be imprisoned for life in service to their god and the ummah.
Both have the support (soft jihad) of the other two million silent Muslims in our country.
Yes, absolutely no connections to the Aurora/NYC plot.
” Yes, absolutely no connections to the Aurora/NYC plot. “

My my. Dallas and Springfield. And the day after the latest AQ video. Hmmmmmmm.
Now I’ll have to amend my earlier post.
All three Muslims.
All three Bombers.
All three attempting to blow up innocent Americans.
All three performing RELIGIOUS DUTY as proscribed by the koran.
All three loyal only to Allah.
All three willing to die or be imprisoned for life in service to their god and the ummah.
All three have the support (soft jihad) of the other two million silent Muslims in our country.
Yes, absolutely no connections to the Aurora/NYC plot OR the Dallas plot.
Adding “tall buildings” to mass transit, stadiums, fashion shows, and malls as REALLY BAD places to visit.
I also wouldn’t attend any Synagogue that doesn’t have 24 hour armed security with bomb sniffing dogs and mandatory bag inspections now through late October.
Agreed.....
This is much bigger than the Powers-that-Be want us to believe....

EW YORK TERROR CASE
Indictment Announced
09/24/09

A 24-year-old Colorado resident was indicted today in a New York federal court and charged with conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction—explosive bombs—in the United States.
Justice Department documents related to the case state that Najibullah Zazi had received “detailed bomb-making instructions in Pakistan, purchased components of improvised explosive devices, and traveled to New York City on September 10, 2009 in furtherance of his criminal plans. … Zazi remained committed to detonating an explosive device up until the date of his arrest.”
Last week, our agents arrested Zazi, a legal permanent resident of the U.S. from Afghanistan, and charged him with lying to the FBI regarding an international and domestic terrorism case. Today’s indictment states that between August 1, 2008 and September 21, 2009, “Zazi knowingly and intentionally conspired with others to use one or more weapons of mass destruction.”
The case is ongoing. “We are investigating a wide range of leads related to this alleged conspiracy,” said Attorney General Eric Holder, “and we will continue to work around the clock to ensure that anyone involved is brought to justice.” He added, “We believe any imminent threat arising from this case has been disrupted, but as always, we remind the American public to be vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.”
The investigation is being conducted by the New York and Denver FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces, which include investigators from more than 50 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.
A motion filed by the Department of Justice in New York and Colorado stated that agents learned during their investigation that Zazi allegedly conducted extensive research on the Internet regarding components of explosive devices, and on “multiple occasions” purchased items necessary to produce Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP) and other explosive devices. TATP was the explosive used in the 2005 London train bombings and in the failed 2001 “shoe bomb” plot by Richard Reid.
When agents lawfully searched Zazi’s laptop computer, they found bomb-making instructions and Internet searches for hydrochloric acid. While under surveillance during July and August, Zazi and others purchased unusually large quantities of hydrogen peroxide and acetone products from beauty supply stores in the Denver area—all of which can be used to make TATP.
Agents also intercepted e-mail and cell phone messages from Zazi in which he sought information about bomb-making ingredients.
The Justice Department is seeking to have Zazi transferred from Colorado to the Eastern District of New York to be arraigned on the charge in today’s indictment. If convicted, he faces a potential sentence of life in prison.
Also today: In an arrest unrelated to the Zazi case but which involved the attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, a 29-year-old Illinois man was charged in a plot to bomb the federal building in Springfield, Illinois. Michael C. Finton, also known as Talib Islam, actually tried to detonate a vehicle bomb, but he didn’t realize that undercover agents made sure the bomb was inactive.

‘Suspicious’ Ferry Riders Were Businessmen
POSTED: 9:04 am PDT May 6, 2008
UPDATED: 9:06 am PDT May 6, 2008
SEATTLE, Wash. — Two men believed to be acting suspicious on a Washington ferry, thus prompting a terror scare, were just businessmen.
The FBI said the men appeared at a U.S. Embassy two weeks ago to identify themselves. They have since been cleared by officials.
The men said they were on business in Seattle last summer, when they took some time out to be tourists and ride a ferry.

Quoted in NYT on the Zazi Bomb Plot
David Johnston and Scott Shane put together a kick-butt recap of the latest updates regarding Najibullah Zazi and his WMD/bomb plot in NYC for Friday’s New York Times. I was quoted in the article as follows:
Jarret Brachman, author of “Global Jihadism” and a consultant to the government about terrorism, said some details — like what individuals trained Mr. Zazi in Pakistan — remained to be learned. But he said the case was “shaping up to be one of the most serious terrorist bomb plots developed in the United States,” one resembling the London public transit attacks of July 2005.
“You don’t manufacture homemade TATP explosives unless you want to kill people and destroy infrastructure,” Dr. Brachman said, using the abbreviation for the combination of chemicals said to be involved in the Zazi plot.”
The story is very useful in situating this plot in the broader context of other previous plots against the US. The full-text can be found……….. HERE

“Terror suspect Najibullah Zazi indicted in terror plot; shopped for household items to make bomb”

DAILY NEWS WRITERS
Updated Friday, September 25th 2009, 1:25 AM
SNIPPET: “Najibullah Zazi stockpiled bottles of ordinary hydrogen peroxide and nail polish remover - and planned to cook them up into homemade explosives, the indictment charges.”
SNIPPET: “NYPD raids in Queens last week turned up nine backpacks and cell phones...”
SNIPPET: “The feds painted the bearded Zazi, 24, as a mad bomber whipping up batches of lethal explosives over a stove inside an Aurora, Colo., hotel suite.
While inside the suite on Sept. 6-7, Zazi tried several times to reach an unidentified individual “seeking \[the\] correct mixture of ingredients to make explosives,” a government memorandum said.
“Each communication \[was\] more urgent in tone than the last.”
SNIPPET: “One day after checking out, Zazi searched the Internet for Queens home improvement stores that carry the bomb ingredient muriatic acid, which can be used to clean concrete, the feds said.”
SNIPPET: “Zazi was caught on surveillance video purchasing 18 bottles of hair-care products laden with hydrogen peroxide in July and August, including one with the less-than-lethal name Ms. K Liquid 40 Volume.”
SNIPPET: “A pair of Zazi associates bought hydrogen peroxide and acetone products from Denver-area beauty shops during the same time period, the feds charged.”
SNIPPET: “Zazi’s father and a second man arrested last Saturday with the terrorist suspect were both freed on bail.”
