An Ohio truck driver has admitted meeting with Osama bin Laden and other top Al Qaeda figures. Federal officials say the man planned to bring down the Brooklyn Bridge on behalf of the group.
Attorney General John Ashcroft made the surprise announcement yesterday. He said that Iyman Faris was arrested in March, and in early May pled guilty to providing material support to a terrorist organization.
Eric Lichtblau covers the Justice Department for the New York Times, and joins Here and Now to discuss Iyman Faris.
