"How can one account for a 'nice' immigrant Afghan coffee vendor in New York, Najibullah Zazi, going to Pakistan for explosives training with the intent to stage an attack in the US? He was picked up in Colorado trying to buy chemicals.
"Most dangerous of all is the Chicagoan, David Coleman Headly, 49, who with that name, age, and money, would never have been profiled as a terrorist. Headly changed his name from Gilani to Headly, a name that would fly below the radar on his passport. He apparently had every advantage of upbringing (American mother), social status, and money. Yet he was a frequent globetrotter scouting sites for al Qaeda’s murderous rampages, the most successful of which was the attack on Mumbai that left 166 people dead. Most recently, he was scouting a planned attack on the Danish newspaper that published the Mohammad cartoons."
