During a pretrial in Brooklyn Federal Court, prosecutors said they would probably bring more charges against Najibullah Zazi. Zazi, a former NYC coffee cart vendor and recent Denver Airport shuttle driver, has already pleaded not guilty to a single terrorism count of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction (to bomb NYC); prosecutors say he went to Pakistan and received training from Al Qaeda operatives there. His next court date is in February and Zazi's lawyer said, "He's in fairly good spirits considering his situation."
