Foiled NYC bomb plotter’s 2 comrades due in court
NEW YORK — Two comrades of foiled New York City subway bomb plotter Najibullah Zazi (nah-jee-BOO’-lah ZAH’-zee) are scheduled to make their first court appearances since he pleaded guilty.
Zarein Ahmedzay (zah-RAYN’ ah-MIHD’-zay) and Adis Medunjanin (ah-DEES’ meh-doon-YAH’-neen) went to high school with Zazi in Queens and are accused of traveling with him to Pakistan in 2008.
Zazi admitted Monday he got terrorism training during the trip. The former Colorado airport shuttle driver says he returned to the United States and planned to detonate bombs around the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Medunjanin has pleaded not guilty to charges he conspired to kill U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. Ahmedzay has denied lying to the FBI about places he visited during the trip. They are due in court Thursday.
