FBI arrests 2 men in connection with probe of suspected bomb plot against New York City NEW YORK (AP) — Two men were arrested Friday in the investigation of a suspected bomb plot targeting New York City that previously led to charges against a Denver airport driver. The arrests in New York of Adis Medunjanin and Zarein Ahmedzay were part of "an ongoing investigation" by the Joint Terrorism Task Force, according to FBI agent Richard Kolko, who declined to comment further. There were no immediate details on the charges against the men, according to Kolko and Robert Nardoza, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn. The men were expected to appear in court later Friday, Nardoza said. Medunjanin's attorney, Robert C. Gottlieb, said the FBI seized his client's passport Thursday. The search warrant indicated the passport was sought as part of an investigation into a conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction. wpix.com

Taxpayers finance $196,000 ride (DAILY TAXI....tab picked up by taxpayers!) The Times Union ^ \| Dec 23, 2009 \| CATHLEEN F. CROWLEY, Staff writer timesunion.com A Dutchess County woman took a daily $300 taxi ride to visit her son in Albany for three years -- and taxpayers picked up the tab. The $196,000 cab bill was just one example of $169 million misspent by Medicaid, according to state Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, who released three audits Tuesday on the public system that pays for the health care for the state's poor and disabled. Medicaid, which is funded federal, state and county money, spends $45 billion a year. DiNapoli's auditors identified overpayments, billing errors, administrative mistakes and abuse. Some of the problems have been cited yearly by the auditors but have not been fixed by the state Department of Health, which oversees the program, DiNapoli said.
