DENVER—A man under investigation in a terrorism probe in New York and Colorado didn’t report for a fourth day of FBI questioning so he could spend a much-needed day with his attorney.
Najibullah Zazi had been scheduled to go to the Federal Building in Denver Saturday, but a spokeswoman for Zazi’s defense team told The Associated Press that Zazi and his attorney contacted the FBI to cancel the meeting.
The FBI had no immediate comment.
Zazi, a 24-year-old airport shuttle driver, insists he is not involved in terrorism and has no links to al-Qaida. He is not under arrest.
He completed a third day of questioning Friday and was allowed to return to his Aurora apartment.
Zazi’s defense team denied reports that Zazi is considering a plea deal related to terror charges. Zazi’s attorney, Arthur Folsom, has dismissed as “rumor” remarks by a senior U.S. intelligence official in Washington that Zazi played a crucial role in an intended terrorist attack.
