Terror Plot

Feds: Beauty Store Bomber Had Accomplices

Three accused of shopping for chemicals with Zazi.

The ongoing Colorado investigation into Afghan immigrant Najibullah Zazi’s alleged plot to build bombs from chemicals purchased at a beauty supply store took a chilling turn Monday when investigators identified three possible accomplices, the Associated Press reports. Investigators reportedly know the three people’s identities; they hail from New York City and are accused of helping Zazi make his purchases in Aurora, Colorado. Zazi maintains his innocence, even as officials claim they found in his possession notes on how to turn 18 bottles of peroxide-based hair bleach into explosives. Zazi’s father and imam face charges for lying to investigators.
