New York, NY -- A New York City imam says he's not guilty of lying to the FBI in connection with an alleged terror plot.
Ahmad Afzali was arrested in September and accused of phoning a suspected al-Qaeda militant to tell him that his activities were being investigated. Afzali is facing four counts of making false statements which could send him to prison for up to two decades. The man he allegedly tipped off, Najibullah Zazi 1/8 1/8 nah-JIB-u-lah ZAH-zee 3/8 3/8 was living in Colorado and was allegedly planning to set off bombs in the U.S. The plot has been labeled by Attorney General Eric Holder as one of the most serious security threats to the U.S. since the 9-11 attacks in 2001.
The 37-year-old imam was arraigned in Brooklyn federal court and entered not guilty pleas to all charges. He had been an informant for New York police before the arrest. Afzali is currently free on bail.
In a previous blog, “A Runners Wife” I spoke about my husband training for the NYC marathon. All I have to say is that the months of training all came together of an amazing race. Race day is a grueling day for runners, and the family. But a miracle happened...
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder testified before the senate judiciary committee and basically shrugged when asked if any other enemy combatant captured overseas had ever been brought to civilian criminal court to face justice. Talk about an incompetent boob, not to mention a disgrace.
