Man who plotted NYC subway bombing to be sentenced after nearly a decade of cooperation.
It has been nearly 10 years since Najibullah Zazi and two friends plotted to detonate homemade explosives on the New York City subway system near the eighth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
The extent of Zazi’s cooperation has never been formally articulated. A sentencing memorandum filed by prosecutors on Wednesday was redacted, but it made clear that Zazi has been a vital source for those in the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement communities who sought to understand al-Qaeda, its motivations and its methods.
Zazi was born in Afghanistan and he grew up in Peshawar, Pakistan, before moving to Queens, New York, when he was 14. Zazi went to Flushing High School but did not graduate. He operated a coffee cart on Wall Street before a 2008 trip to Pakistan.
