| [Iran Press TV Latest] An Afghan immigrant, accused of planning to bomb commuter trains in New York with explosive devices made out of cosmetic materials, has pled not guilty to the charges. On Tuesday, Najibullah Zazi filed the no guilty plea with a Brooklyn federal court. The 24-year-old suspect is on trial for alleged plans of a terrorist attack on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks on New York, FOX News reported. Allegations state that Zazi had also stored beauty products containing hydrogen peroxide and acetone, claimed to be key ingredients in the combination of the devices. Meanwhile, the prosecution, who claims Zazi could have unleashed the next worst catastrophe after the 9/11 attacks, has pushed for his imprisonment. Zazi is accused of ties to Pakistani "militants" and keeping "bomb-making instructions on his laptop." "Zazi remained committed to detonating an explosive device," the prosecution said. However, his attorney Arthur Folsom has said that FBI agents have not yet found the elements to connect them to Zazi. "No traces of any kind of chemical was found in his vehicle." |
