Najibullah Zazi Guilty Plea and Patriot Act Renewal
Najibullah Zazi, dubbed the "Beauty Bomber," pleaded guilty to conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction in a New York subway plot. The timing of the plea and the sealing of bargain details are linked to the renewal of three expiring provisions of the Patriot Act. Skepticism is expressed regarding the claim that Zazi emailed himself bomb-making instructions from Pakistan.
