Denver-New York terror case grows

The World

Yesterday, the Department of Justice indicted Najibullah Zazi, a 24-year-old Afghan living in Denver, on conspiracy charges related to an alleged bomb plot intended to strike the New York City subway system. According to government documents, Zazi bought gallons of acetone and hydrogen peroxide from beauty supply stores, and had experimented with bomb making in a Denver-area hotel room. We talk with New York Times reporter David Johnston and Bruce Finley from The Denver Post; both have been following the case. We are also joined by former federal prosecutor Ed O’Callaghan, the former chief of the Terrorism and National Security Unit in New York’s Southern District, who talks us through the legal case.
