TRUCK & TERRORISTS * USA - Feds probe alleged terrorists suspecteds as Al Qaeda bomb plot
New York,NY,USA -The NY Daily News, by James Gordon Meek & Judith Crosson & Kate Nocera, Rocco Parascandola & Larry Mcshane -September 19th 2009: -- Investigators probed a failed Queens truck rental for ties to a possible Al Qaeda bomb plot yesterday as a chief terror suspect tried making a deal to save his skin... The New York end of the expanding federal probe centered on seven Afghan men who tried to rent the biggest truck at a Queens U-Haul on Sept. 9, sources told the Daily News... The size of the vehicle involved - a 26-foot-long truck - suggested the conspirators wanted to pack it with explosives, sources said... At least three Afghan men - including Ahmad Afzali, a Queens imam identified by a U-Haul employee as one of the would-be renters - were questioned in New York by FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, sources said... And at least a dozen people remained under round-the-clock surveillance in the case...
