DC 'BOMB PLOT' MAN TRIED TO CONTACT MILITANTS, FBI SAYS
28 October, 2010
Mr Ahmed allegedly conducted surveillance at a Metro station.
The FBI learned in January that a man arrested over an alleged Washington DC Metro
bomb plot tried to contact extremist groups in an effort to fight US forces overseas, the
agency says.
Farooque Ahmed and another unnamed person hoped to fight in Afghanistan or Pakistan
early next year, FBI agent Charles Davoub said in a statement.
Mr Davoub said Mr Ahmed may have acquired weapons in 2008 and 2009.
The 34-year-old was arrested on Wednesday in the Washington DC area.
Mr Ahmed is believed to have used firearms he purchased in May of 2008 and February
of 2009 to train for his goal of travelling to Afghanistan to kill Americans, Mr Davoub said.
Mr Davoub added Mr Ahmed, a naturalised US citizen originally from Pakistan, had
lived in the US since 1993.
A resident of Ashburn in Virginia, Mr Ahmed allegedly conducted surveillance of Metro
stations in Arlington, on the outskirts of Washington DC, on four occasions.
He was conspiring with people he believed were from al-Qaeda, the Department of
Justice said on Wednesday.
