The trial of Adis Medunjanin, a co-conspirator with Najibullah Zazi and Zarein Ahmedzay in a 2009 plot to bomb New York City's subways, opened today. All three had gone to Pakistan for jihad in Afghanistan, but were told by two senior al Qaeda operatives to return to New York and conduct operations there. Medunjanin was arrested in January 2010 after a failed suicide attack on NYC's Whitestone Bridge.
