Attorney representing terror suspect assembling seasoned federal team

Attorney representing terror suspect getting help

DENVER — The attorney representing a Colorado man at the center of a terror probe into an alleged train bombing plot plans to add lawyers to his team after a judge questioned his federal court experience.

Arthur Folsom, attorney for Najibullah Zazi, has been handling divorces, drunk driving and criminal cases over the past 11 years in Colorado state courts but has never tried a federal case.

Folsom is “taking the appropriate steps to make sure his client gets experienced, seasoned counsel,” said Wendy Aiello, a spokeswoman for Folsom.

Though Zazi is charged only with lying to the government, law enforcement officials said he may have been plotting with others to detonate backpack bombs on New York trains.
