An Afghan immigrant wanted to carry out a New York City terror attack involving hydrogen peroxide bombs on commuter trains to coincide with the September 11 anniversary before federal authorities foiled the plan, a US prosecutor said today.

US prosecutor Tim Neff told a federal judge in Denver, Colorado that Najibullah Zazi "was intent on being in New York on 9/11" for a possible terror attack.

"The defendant was in the throes of making a bomb and attempting to perfect his formulation," Neff said. He called the evidence a "chilling, disturbing sequence of events".

Neff ordered Zazi, a 24-year-old Afghan-born coffee cart owner in New York and Denver airport shuttle driver, transferred to New York to face charges of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction. A US official confirmed that a government plane is carrying Zazi to New York.
