A federal grand jury has indicted two men in the foiled New York City subway bomb plot.

Charges unsealed this morning in Brooklyn allege that Zarein Ahmedzayand Adis Medunjaninwere involved in the plan to attack the New York subway system in mid-September 2009.

The two are accused of conspiring with Najibullah Zazi to use weapons of mass destruction explosive bombs to conduct an attack on Manhattan subway lines last September. Zazi, 24,has pleaded guilty to federal charges and is co-operating with federal prosecutors.

U.S. prosecutors told a federal court in Denver in September thatZazi, a Colorado airport shuttle driver,travelled regularly to Canada, raising concerns thathe might have triedto organize another terror cell north of the border.
