ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK: The admitted mastermind of a foiled suicide attack on the New York City subways says he grew to believe that the culprit behind the 9/11 attacks was "America itself."


Najibullah Zazi (nah-jee-BOO'-lah ZAH'-zee) testified Tuesday at the Brooklyn trial of Adis Medunjanin (ah-DEES' med-DOON'-yah-neen).


The government says they and a third man — all former classmates from Queens — came close to carrying out the 2009 subway attack.


The other man, Zarein Ahmedzay (zah-RAYN' ah-MIHD'-zay), testified Monday.


He and Zazi pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against Medunjanin in a bid for leniency.


Medunjanin's lawyer insists his client is not a terrorist.


The trial is scheduled to resume Wednesday in federal court.
