Denver bus driver admits possible Qaeda link

But Zazis discussions with the authorities shed light on the suspicions that led federal and New York counter-terrorism officials to begin intensive inquiries and to raid apartments in a suburb of Denver and in Queens,New York,believing he was the central figure in some kind of terrorist activity.

Zazis statements suggest a somewhat different narrative than the one he presented this week when he denied being affiliated with al-Qaeda and said he had no idea why the government would suspect him of wrongdoing. Indeed,there are now some indications that Zazi received training in explosives and bomb-making while overseas.
