NEW YORK -- An American-born jihadist who joined al-Qaeda could testify for the government in the upcoming trial of a man accused in a plot to bomb New York City subways. Bryant Neal Vinas
Medunjanin has pleaded not guilty "Wudn't me." to charges he conspired with two childhood friends from Queens to suicide bomb Manhattan subway lines in 2009. Prosecutors say the three had gone to Pakistain together in 2008 to get terror training from al-Qaeda. Vinas, 29, who's from Long Island, was captured in Pakistain in 2008. He isn't charged in the subway plot, but could be called to the witness stand to testify about the inner-workings of al-Qaeda. | |
