NY Subway Bomb Plotter Waiting In The Wings As A Witness

Nearly a year after pleading guilty in a foiled terror plot targeting New York City subways, Al-Qaeda associates Najibullah Zazi not been back to court and probably will not until it is called as a witness - perhaps against his own father.

Elder Zazi to hide the evidence in the obstruction case against his son's case went to trial later this year. And as part of the reason, a lot, the Government may ask for his son in jail to testify at the trial or Medunjanin Adis involved in the alleged plot to detonate homemade bombs underground backpack.

Prosecutors refused to discuss potential witnesses.

But the father's lawyers say they believe that in addition to its famous son, at least three members of the lesser-known clan Colorado Zazi betrayed client, Mohammed Wali Zazi, and in secret to become a government of cooperation.

The defense wants all three agreements promising "help to get a pardon ... court, or the lack of prosecution or arrest, or other favorable treatment," the lawyers wrote last week in a letter to federal prosecutors Brooklyn.

Relatives - Zazi older sister, nephew and brother-in-law - has not been charged with any crime. But like most sensors of terrorism, it is likely, the researchers cooked and immigration and other records of almost anyone Najibullah Zazi alleged violation, which could be used to help them.

How parents can become cooperators "could become clearer in the trial," said Deborah Colson, senior counsel for the Zazi. A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office declined to comment Wednesday.

Najibullah Zazi pleaded guilty Feb. 22 and cooperates with an investigation of the plot and its underground roots in Pakistan, where Zazi said he went to the old school friends - and Medunjanin Zarein Ahmedzay - 2008 to train terrorists al-Qaida.

Zazi Najibullah, a driver of the van from the airport in Colorado, admitted that after returning from Pakistan has tested materials peroxide-based explosives in a makeshift laboratory in Denver in the fall of 2009, before driving in New York for project.

Authorities say Ahmedzay Medunjanin and agreed to join Zazi in three coordinated suicide attacks on the lines of Manhattan during rush hour near the eighth anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11 -. "Martyrdom operation" that called Zazi

"I sacrifice myself to bring attention to what the U.S. military has done to civilians in Afghanistan," said Zazi, who was born in Afghanistan before his family moved to Pakistan.

The plot was interrupted when police stopped the car they arrived in New York Zazi.

As Zazi Ahmedzay pleaded guilty and cooperated. The two men could be found to testify against Medunjanin, which is fighting the charges.

Zazi be sentenced to life in prison when sentenced. His sentencing date is June 24. But the date has been reset a number of times. There was no immediate response to messages left Wednesday with his attorney.

U.S. prosecutors are still looking for the donation of another suspect in Britain say they have links with the system.

Mohammed Wali Zazi accused in October 2009 of conspiracy to destroy or hide the "goggles, masks, liquid chemicals and containers," which was evidence in the case against his son. At that time, 55 years old Afghan immigrant and former taxi driver in New York City seemed to be a small factor, and the candidate is likely to set a lot.

But after that - and also his son - Federal prosecutors have instead adopted a harder line, a new prosecution presented late last year added a further obstacle is calculated against the father and the payment relates, lied when he denied the conversation with his son. Indictment also claims he provided false information on an application for asylum for his brother's son, Amanullah Zazi.

A grandson, with his mother, Rabia Zazi and her husband, Naqip Jaji, were named three potential witnesses, documents the defense.

Rabia Zazi Jají and were widely cited in press reports at the beginning of the investigation. Outside his home in suburban Denver in September 2009, the aunt played down suspicions Zazi Najibullah was involved in terrorism, saying: "He had no time. It works."

Efforts to contact the three parents by a family lawyer in Colorado were unsuccessful.

Wali Mohammed Zazi remains free on bail in Colorado, where he once operated a small limousine service. His lawyer said he has to work while awaiting trial in July, but can not find a job.
