    2010 TERRORIST ACTIVITY IN FEDERAL COURTS On Jan. 6, 2010, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a 23-year-old Nigerian national, was charged in a six-count criminal indictment for his alleged role in the attempted Christmas day bombing of Northwest Airlines flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit.1 On Jan. 14, a federal grand jury returned a superseding indictment adding three defendants, including Tahawwur Rana, to charges filed a month earlier against David Coleman Headley, alleging that they and others participated in conspiracies involving a planned terrorist attack against a Danish newspaper and the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India, that killed approximately 164 people, including six Americans.2 On Feb. 22, Najibullah Zazi pleaded guilty to a three-count superseding information charging him with conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction (explosive bombs) against persons or property in the United States, conspiracy to commit murder in a foreign country and providing material support to al-Qaida.3 On Feb. 25, Zarein Ahmedzay and Adis Medunjanin were indicted on terrorism violations stemming from, among other activities, their alleged roles in the plot involving Najibullah Zazi to attack the New York subway system in mid-September 2009.4 On March 4, federal grand jury indicted Abdow Munye Abdow on two counts of making false statements to FBI agents in a matter involving international terrorism.

Harry Reid Majority Leader, United States Senate 522 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Hon. Mitch McConnell Minority Leader, United States Senate 361-A Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senators Reid and McConnell: On behalf of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York (the “Association”), we write to express our concern with (in order of discussion below) Sections 1032, 1033 and 1031 of S. 1253, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (the “NDAA”), which was marked up by the Senate Armed Services Committee on June 17, 2011. By letter dated June 14, 2011, the Association expressed its objections to numerous provisions of the NDAA as adopted by the House of Representatives on May 26, 2011. The Senate bill is in many respects an improvement over the deeply flawed House bill, but it nevertheless contains three provisions that are of substantial concern. The Association is a professional association of over 23,000 attorneys. Founded in 1870, it has long been committed to studying, addressing, and promoting the rule of law and, when appropriate, law reform. Through its many standing committees, the Association educates the bar and public about legal issues relating to the war on terrorism, the pursuit of suspected terrorists, and the treatment of detainees. The principal lesson we have derived from our work is that full and faithful respect for the rule of law strengthens our country. Our system of justice – based on time-tested constitutional and international norms – is a source of strength, not vulnerability.
