The U.S. government has released new information about Jose Padilla, one of 2 American citizens being held as so-called "enemy combatants" in the war on terrorism. We have a report from national correspondent Jim Malone.
   The Justice Department says Jose Padilla received terrorist training at a camp in Afghanistan in 2000 and 2001. Deputy Attorney General James Comey told a Washington news conference that Mr. Padilla also met in 2001 with senior Al- Qaeda leaders who helped him with a plot to use natural gas to blow up apartment buildings in the United States. "He learned how to seal an apartment to trap the natural gas and to prepare an explosion using that gas that would have maximum yield and destroy an apartment building." Mr. Comey says the information was revealed by Mr. Padilla through interrogations and has been released to the public because of a request from Congress. He says Mr. Padilla planned to hit apartment buildings in New York City but the targets in Washington and Florida were also discussed. Jose Padilla was arrested in May of 2002 when he arrived in Chicago from the Middle East. Jim Malone, VOA news, Washington.
