With North Korea and Iran's nuclear exploration taking the front page of most newspapers these days, terrorism and terrorist plots have taken a back seat in the news. However, this past weekend the FBI arrested three men who were believed to be plotting several bomb detonations around the United States. The arrests came in Colorado as well as New York. The three Afghan terrorists names have been revealed and are: Mohammed Wali Zazi, his son and chief suspect Najibullah Zazi and Ahmad Wais Afzali. The men are currently being help captive on charges of lying to federal agents.
Federal investigators found out in their interrogation that Najibullah Zazi attended courses and received in-depth instruction on weapons and explosives at an elite al Qaeda training facility in Pakistan last year. Federal agents also found instructions on specific explosives handling techniques and procedures when they swept the man's computer. However, these allegations are being strongly refuted by the mans lawyer, Arthur Folsom.
While Mr. Zaziwas in federal court administering his not guilty plea, he was seen several times smiling as charges were read off to him as well as blowing kisses to his wife during the hearing. Mr. Zazi's attorney is claiming that FBI officials blew their investigation into the terror plot and are simply usinghis client as a scape goat to cover their own butts. In a case such as this it makes us wonder what kind of sick lawyer would stand up for someone who has substantial evidence pointing towards being guilty. The fact that Najibullah Zaziwas seen acting extremely ignorant or almost proud of the charges being filed against him makes him look even worse. The lawyer along with this monster should be locked away for a long time.
