Naiz Khan says he is exhausted and just a little scared.
Khan is a 26-year-old man whose rented apartment in the Flushing section of Queens was raided by members of the Joint Terror Task Force more than two weeks ago. He’s entangled in a terrorism investigation, he says, because he gave Najibullah Zazi — an Afghan man facing terrorism charges for allegedly planning to bomb a target in New York — a place to stay when Zazi arrived in New York on September 10.
Khan is a former coffee-cart vendor who says he was due to fly to Pakistan to see his family when Zazi was arrested more than a week ago. That trip is indefinitely postponed. Khan says he has no job and is enduring intense media attention and constant surveillance by federal agents camped in the street outside his apartment building.
