Jury selection began in the trial of two Brooklyn, N.Y., residents who are charged with plotting to plant bombs in one of New York City’s subway stations in July. Opening arguments in the case of Ghazi Ibrahim Abu Maizar and Lafi Khalil are scheduled for next week. Police reportedly found anti-American and anti-Israeli literature along with bomb-making accouterments in the men’s Park Slope apartment when they were arrested.
