Terror Plot: Queens Mosque Members React

Reported by TI-HUA CHANG

MYFOXNY.COM - Both Najibulah Zazi, accused bomb plotter, and Iman Afzali, accused to have tipped Zazi, worshipped occasionally at a mosque in Queens.

Members of Masjid Hazrat Abubakr on 33rd Avenue in Flushing say that they aren't happy to hear about the accusations against Zazi. Many said they didn't really know him.

Those who did know him, recalled a nice young man who never talked politics.

But reaction to Imam Ahmad Afzali, whose sermons are popular, was not the same. Many worshippers say he is a good imam and member of the community.

Afzali is out on bail, but is wearing an electronic tracking device. He is allowed to travel from his home to his work at a funeral home, some mosques where he gives sermons, and his lawyer's office.
