Colorado terror suspect Najibullah Zazi has been indicted for conspiring to detonate bombs in the United States.

The new charge of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction was filed in New York. Authorities plan to transfer him to the federal court in Brooklyn to face the new charge. Zazi has publicly denied any terrorist plotting.

Counterterrorism agents fear he and others may have been planning to detonate homemade bombs on New York City commuter trains. Zazi's father and a Queens imam have also been charged with lying to investigators in the case.
