Report: Denver Terror Suspect To Admit Al Qaeda Ties

Last week's terror raid in Queens has apparently led to an Al Qaeda operative here in the US.

The Denver man at the center of an alleged New York bomb plot, Najibullah Zazi, has admitted he has ties to al Qaeda and is in negotiations to plead guilty to a terror charge, a senior law enforcement official told ABC News.

The official said Zazi had received explosives training and his possible guilty plea would be part of a deal to cooperate with the government.

...Zazi has been under investigation for almost a year, according to law enforcement and intelligence officials. The CIA reportedly first learned of his alleged al Qaeda ties when Zazi visited Pakistan and official said they later learned of "deeply troubling" conversations that were picked up on government intercepts.

A friend of mine emailed me asking how come the lefty blogs aren't questioning the timing of these arrests which are obviously timed to distract from Obama's health care failure.

He was kidding. I think.

It's interesting how Obama just doesn't seem to care much about this. This story really isn't getting much play, is it?

The left will say, 'well, Obama is too busy to be distracted and wants to keep these "nuisance" attacks in perspective'

Elections and consequences.
