An airport shuttle driver at the center of a federal terrorism investigation returned Thursday for further questioning by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents in Denver, a day after federal agents searched his apartment and interviewed him for eight hours.

Najibullah Zazi, a 24-year-old immigrant from Afghanistan, provided a DNA swab, a handwriting sample and fingerprints during his eight-hour interrogation on Wednesday afternoon and evening, according to one of his attorneys, Armstrong Graham. “It sounds worse than it was,” Mr. Graham said. “It was very cordial, very productive.”

The agents pressed for information about Mr. Zazi’s family and friends and his travel history, Mr. Graham said. Mr. Zazi’s wife lives in Pakistan, and his lawyers say he denver_manvisits her there regularly. Last week, Mr. Zazi rented a car and drove to New York. He said he had to deal with some problems involving a coffee-vending cart that he operated for years on Wall Street. Mr. Zazi stayed with an old friend in the borough of Queens; earlier this week, the friend’s apartment and two others were searched.

Mr. Zazi hasn’t been arrested or charged. Authorities haven’t released any information about the results of their searches in Queens or in the Denver area.

Both Mr. Zazi and his lawyers have repeatedly said he has no ties to terrorism.

In the filing, Zazi also claimed he was “unmarried,” in contrast to statements that he had traveled frequently to Pakistan to visit his wife, who his attorney said he married in 2006.

  1. What is this person’s status for being in this country, again we need to focus on our borders and hold persons accountable to their entry status parameters. It’s sad when someone can come to this country rack up 38K in debit then file bankruptcy so the people have to bear the burden.

    If we should remember anything…it’s how nice the neighbors said the 9-11 hijackers were. They said they were “such nice young men” and they would even help carry the unsuspecting neighbors groceries in from their car. The terrorists objectives are to come off as nice, friendly people….while they are planning to stab us in the back…or fly airplanes into our buildings. Just because someone appears affable doesn’t mean they are. The thing we need to remember is…..we can’t see what is in someone’s heart.
