2 N.Y. Men Arrested In Zazi Terror Probe
Adis Medunjanin And Zarein Ahmedzay Taken Into Custody Early Friday Morning By FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force
Medunjanin, 25, Was Questioned Back In October In Najibullah Zazi Terror Investigation
NEW YORK (CBS) ― CBS station WCBS-TV in New York has learned of the arrests of two Queens men in connection with the ongoing investigation of the Najibullah Zazi terror plot.
25-year-old Adis Medunjanin and Zarein Ahmedzay were taken into federal custody early Friday morning by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force in New York City.
Medunjanin was taken into custody after crashing his car near the a bridge on Thursday night.
Authorities served a search warrant on Medunjanin's apartment. It was in the same building as the raid from last year when authorities were looking for evidence in connection with a New York terror plot.
Medunjanin's attorney confirmed to WCBS-TV that authorities asked for and then eventually got his client's passport.
Then, just after 3 p.m., a car registered to his family was involved in an accident.
That car was then towed to a police station with severe damage. Sources told WCBS-TV Thursday night that Medunjanin suffered minor injuries and was brought to an area hospital, where, with police outside, he was undergoing tests.
Medunjanin was previously questioned by authorities in October in connection with last year's New York terror plot involving Najibullah Zazi. He was once suspected of accompanying Zazi to Pakistan.
It's unclear whether authorities suspected that he attended terrorist training camps along with Zazi.
Medunjanin is a 25-year-old Bosnian immigrant who grew up with Zazi in Flushing, and his attorney confirmed that the two know each other.
He has a degree in economics and works in a building management business.
