You may recall the rather Kafka-esque story of a woman who was arrested for armed robbery... only for prosecutors to realize that she was being framed by her ex-boyfriend because she had accused him of rape and refused to drop the charges. Now the woman, Seemona Sumasar, tells the NY Times, "From the beginning I was presumed guilty — not innocent. I felt like I never had a chance... I can never have faith in justice in this country again." more ›

The Brooklyn mom who was accused of trying to kill her husband's out-of-wedlock baby, by tricking the mother into taking an abortion-inducing medicine, pleaded guilty today to a lesser charge of second-degree assault, ensuring she will likely be out of jail within two years.

She's the Brooklyn mom accused of trying to kill her husband's out-of-wedlock baby by tricking the mother into taking an abortion-inducing medicine, posing as a hospital administrator in an unsuccessful effort to have the infant taken off its respirator, and attempting to poison the infant with tainted breast milk.

Now that Najibullah Zazi has admitted he planned to attack NY's subway system in federal court, his high school pals are likely to face additional charges when they take the stand tomorrow. When questioned today whether Zazi planned to carry out his attack with the help of two other suicide bombers, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly responded, "The information will be coming out, but I think that's fair to say, yes." Both Adis Medunjanin, originally from Bosnia and Zarein Ahmedzay, originally from Afghanistan, are already charged in connection with their friend's sojourn in a Pakistani Al Qaeda training camp, but now that Zazi is talking, it's unclear exactly what other accusations will be piled on. more ›

The first of several charges have been filed against Adis Medunjanin, 25, a Queens College graduate who allegedly traveled to Pakistan in 2008 with subway bomb suspect Najibullah Zazi. Today federal prosecutor James P. Loonam told a judge that while in Pakistan, Medunjanin attended an Al Qaeda training camp and conspired to kill American service members in Afghanistan. Loonam's office expects to seek additional charges against Medunjanin, who has not (yet) been charged with participating in Zazi's alleged subway bomb plot. more ›

President Obama spent the afternoon in the Situation Room meeting with his national security team, the first face-to-face meeting with some two dozen advisers since the attempted Christmas Day bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. Following the meeting, the president acknowledged that the government knew of “other red flags” in the failed underwear bombing plot. "This was not a failure to collect intelligence, it was a failure to integrate and understand the intelligence that we already had," Obama told reporters at the White House. For good measure, he added that "the system has failed" in a major way. But at least the FAIL wasn't as bad as the one in Slovakia on Saturday! more ›

Though the NYPD and federal agents say they've "successfully disrupted" an alleged terror plot targeting public transportation in NYC, officials are still uncertain whether more suspects remain to be captured. There's also the question of a bomb factory or an explosives stockpile, which would obviously have been an indispensable part of the plot. Four "anonymous government sources" tell Newsweek that more suspects (perhaps over a dozen) are being sought, and investigators are urgently searching for the explosives. Hopefully, the NYPD will be a tad more discreet from now on. more ›
