New York Terror Suspect Admits Guilt and Cooperates

[Kber]

The Afghan immigrant who played a central role in what the federal authorities have said was one of the most serious threats to the United States since the 9/11 attacks, pleaded guilty on Monday to terrorism charges after admitting to a plot to blow up the New York subway.

In entering his plea, the immigrant, Najibullah Zazi, admitted that he came to New York last year near the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks to kill himself and others on the subway using a homemade bomb — what he said was a “martyrdom operation” that he was just days away from executing until he realized he was under government surveillance.

Mr. Zazi, 25, pleaded guilty in United States District Court in Brooklyn to charges that included conspiracies to use weapons of mass destruction, to commit murder in a foreign country and to provide material support for a terrorist organization. He faces a sentence of life in prison.

Throughout the 45-minute proceeding, Mr. Zazi seemed unaffected by his circumstances, even smiling through his dark beard on several occasions. And when he spoke, he did so in an unapologetic, matter-of-fact manner, explaining that he was driven to terrorism by his concerns about the United States’ military’s actions in Afghanistan.

Another clear Administration Failure - oh wait...

Apparently he's also talking and providing good info. Another nail in the torture coffin.
