Najibullah Zazi, who has admitted receiving weapons training from al-Qaida and masterminding a terrible terror plot, authoritiThe plot was a “spectacular” bomb plot to blow up the NYC subway system on the anniversary of 911, in order to murder tens of thousands of Americans. Prosecutors called it the most serious terrorism threat since the Sept. 11 attacks. This jihadist should have gotten 30 years; instead, he got ….three.

Zazi changed plans at the last moment after his imam tipped him off that the police had been asking questions about him.
Another righteous imam.
He cooked up explosives in a Colorado hotel room, made from a recipe of beauty supplies. Secretly, though, the FBI had gotten tipped off that Zazi was involved with militants. He was placed under surveillance in Colorado and followed as he drove to New York, where police stopped his car as it entered the city. Officers let him go, but his rental car was later towed by the FBI.
Zazi was further spooked by a call from a Queens imam warning police were asking about him. He rushed back to Colorado.
…..Zazi was behind ‘one of the most serious terrorist threats to our nation’ since the September 11 attacks.
Ringleader in foiled plot to bomb New York subway nearly ten years ago could be handed a lighter sentence for ‘switching sides and sharing information about other al-Qaeda terrorists’
By Associated Press 05:16 01 May 2019:
Najibullah Zazi testified against one of the co-conspirators in the New York plot
He was arrested in 2009 and is finally due to be sentenced in Brooklyn tomorrow
At the time the plot was discovered he was described as being the man behind ‘one of the most serious threats to our nation’ since the September 11 attacks
The ringleader of a plot to bomb New York City’s subway could get off with a lighter prison sentence tomorrow after he switched sides and offered valuable intelligence on al-Qaeda.
Najibullah Zazi – once described as the man behind ‘one of the most serious threats to our nation’ since 9/11 – has helped prosecutors to bring down other terrorists after pleading guilty to his role in the plot.
Seamus Hughes, deputy director of George Washington University’s Program on Extremism, predicted Zazi would also get ‘considerably less’ than a life sentence.
Prosecutors at the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney’s office ‘tend to look favorably on cooperation when it comes to terrorism cases,’ he said.
And the lengthy lag between Zazi’s guilty plea and sentencing, Hughes added, ‘speaks to the value that prosecutors saw in terms of Zazi testifying against others.’
Born in Afghanistan, Zazi moved to Pakistan as a child and then relocated to New York City as a teenager.
At age 14 he was living in Queens, where his father drove a cab. Friends said he initially seemed to like American life. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen and took a job operating a coffee cart on Wall Street.
Fellow food vendors said Zazi changed, though, after a series of trips back to Pakistan.

He grew a long beard, stopped wearing western clothes in favor of tunics and began playing holy music. He also ran into financial problems, declaring bankruptcy in 2008.
Not long after that, Zazi and two childhood friends from Queens- Ahmedzay and Adis Medunjanin – agreed to travel to Pakistan in 2008 to try to join the Taliban.
Instead, they were recruited by al-Qaida operatives for a ‘martyrdom operation’ on U.S. soil.
The plot called for the three men to conduct suicide bombings on subway lines during rush hour near the eighth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
Zazi, who had moved to a Denver suburb and briefly worked as an airport shuttle driver, later said he wanted to ‘bring attention to what the United States military was doing to civilians in Afghanistan by sacrificing my soul for the sake of saving other souls.’
He cooked up explosives in a Colorado hotel room, made from a recipe of beauty supplies.
Secretly, though, the FBI had gotten tipped off that Zazi was involved with militants.
He was placed under surveillance in Colorado and followed as he drove to New York, where police stopped his car as it entered the city. Officers let him go, but his rental car was later towed by the FBI.
Zazi was further spooked by a call from a Queens imam warning police were asking about him. He rushed back to Colorado.
FBI agents executed a series of raids. News outlets learned of the investigation and also began hounding Zazi, who told reporters he had no idea what was going on. He was soon arrested.
Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder said Zazi was behind ‘one of the most serious terrorist threats to our nation’ since the September 11 attacks.
Other would-be terrorists have been able to gain their freedom by cooperating with prosecutors.

He should get capital punishment.
Thanks to Ms Geller we didn’t get a mosque at ground zero.
Instead we got a Muslim minaret atop the new WTC building.
The WTC ‘minaret’ is a collection of radio and tv antennas. Since several of the stations broadcasting from the minaret are arabic. The answer is yes . It is shouting their filthy , vile messages of hate from those antenna. We have been conquered!
I didn’t either till Dorrie – Conservative pointed this out:
Muslims are symbolically driven – WORLD Trade Center. Muslims want WORLD domination.

All muslum apologists and muslum sympathizers should be rounded up, have Star-of-David themed kippahs cemented to their noggins and let loose in the outer suburbs of various muslum cities.

Why don’t you start hanging these uckers so this kind of problem does not occur? Try it, you’ll find it ENDS the problem and is merciFOOL for both the nuthead and you.
Both will have peace now. Different kind of peace, admittedly.

You know: Its a comforting thought that thousands of the likes of Zazi are flying to and from the USA. Traveling is not cheap and I suspect the taxpayer is funding these trips for nefarious purposes. Along with the numerous welfare benefits they likely get a grant to make their haj to mecca too. Air travel is essentially denied to me as I would not like to be seated next to the filthy or be put through the indignity of getting through the so called security.
If we don’t put a stop to islam now we will be the dream of obama “we are a moslem country”
