The FBI has arrested Najibullah Zazi and his father at their apartment around 9:40pm on Saturday Night.The Associated Press reported Friday a senior U.S. intelligence official told them Zazi had indicated ties to al-Qaeda and played a crucial role in a planned terror attack. It wasn't immediately clear what the intended targets were.
The government does not yet have enough to file terrorism charges, ABC News reported.
ABCNews also reported Saturday that Zazi had researched baseball and football stadiums and sites used in the recent Fashion Week event in New York City, quoting officials familiar with the case.
The Denver Post reported on Saturday that Zazi said in a telephone interview that he had not admitted any link to al-Qaida, to participation in insurgency training in Pakistan or to involvement in a terrorist plot.
Zazi was born in Afghanistan in 1985, moved to Pakistan at age 7 and emigrated to the United States in 1999.
