A man convicted of plotting with al Qaida to commit coordinated suicide bombings in the New York City subway system has lost his argument that he was denied right to counsel and due process.

Adis Medunjanin claimed a trial judge should have suppressed statements he gave to the Joint Terrorism Task Force following his arrest in 2010 because he was questioned by agents who knew he had an attorney but denied him access and tricked him into waiving his Miranda rights.
