Nosair was initially found not guilty of the murder, but while serving time on lesser charges, he and other men began planning attacks on a dozen New York City landmarks, including tunnels, synagogues and the United Nations headquarters.
Pada mulanya, Nosair didapati tidak bersalah, tapi semasa dia dipenjarakan kerana kes-kes yang lain, dia dan beberapa lelaki mula merancang serangan ke atas mercu-mercu tanda di New York City, termasuklah terowong, saumaah dan ibu pejabat Persatuan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu.
