FBI Arrests Three Men in Terror Plot that Targeted New York
[ABC News] Brian Ross, Richard Esposito and Clayton Sandell - The FBI arrested three men on charges they lied to federal agents during an investigation of a terror plot against New York City that authorities say was "the real deal." Agents say they discovered nine pages of notes in Najibullah Zazi's computer with details on how to make a homemade bomb. Zazi admitted he attended an al-Qaeda training camp in Pakistan and received instructions on weapons and explosives. A recipe for homemade explosives found on Zazi's computer would have produced a bomb of the same size and type used in London, authorities said. Raids in New York led to the discovery of 14 new backpacks. The suicide bombers in London used backpacks and plastic containers to carry the explosive mixtures.
