The father of a terrorist faced up to 40 years in prison on February 10 after his conviction on charges that he destroyed evidence and lied to investigators to cover up his son s plot to attack the New York City subways in 2009, reports Dawn. Mohammed Wali Zazi (55) remained free on bail after his conviction in July 2011. His son, Najibullah Zazi, admitted that he returned from a trip to Pakistan to his family s Colorado home to practice concocting homemade bombs using chemicals extracted from common beauty supplies. He drove to New York City in September 2009 with plans to attack the subway system in a martyrdom operation before he learned he was being watched by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and fled back to Colorado. The plot was sanctioned by Al Qaeda. The elder Zazi, an Afghan-born US citizen, was found guilty of conspiracy and obstruction of justice.
