NYC subway plotter: Bombmaking 'very simple'

None

The admitted mastermind of a foiled terror plot to attack New York City subways testified Wednesday that al-Qaeda trainers taught him a "very simple" formula for making explosives needed for suicide bombs.

 

After being recruited by the terror network and taken to a compound in the South Waziristan region of Pakistan, Najibullah Zazi said he learned how to mix chemicals found in nail polish remover and other products sold at beauty supply stores. "It was very simple and they're everywhere," he said of the chemicals. (AP)
