Bomb Plotters To Testify at Brooklyn Trial Next Week
CADMAN PLAZA EAST (AP) — Two would-be suicide bombers who targeted New York City subways in 2009 are on a list of potential witnesses for the upcoming Brooklyn trial of a third man accused in the foiled terror plot.
A judge made the list naming Najibullah Zazi and Zarein Ahmedzay public last week at the request of The Associated Press and other news organizations. It had originally been omitted from a court filing in the case of Adis Medunjanin.
Medunjanin has pleaded not guilty to charges alleging he went to Afghanistan with Zazi and Ahmedzay in 2008 to join the Taliban and fight U.S. soldiers. The three former high school classmates from Queens instead fell into the hands of al-Qaida operatives, who gave them weapons training in their Pakistan camp and asked them to become suicide bombers, authorities say.
