One day after checking out, Zazi searched the Internet for Queens home improvement stores that carry the bomb ingredient muriatic acid, which can be used to clean concrete, the feds said.

The acid was the last of three easily obtained chemicals - along with hydrogen peroxide and acetone - needed to create deadly explosives.

A pair of Zazi associates bought hydrogen peroxide and acetone products from Denver-area beauty shops during the same time period, the feds charged.

There were no other arrests in the plot, although U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder promised the feds were still “investigating a wide range of leads related to this alleged conspiracy.”

The News reported Zazi was at the center of a five-member Al Qaeda cell based in Denver - the first U.S. terror group linked to Osama Bin Laden since 9/11.

Zazi, in a white T-shirt, stood mutely inside a Colorado courtroom Thursday as federal prosecutors announced the new indictment that could jail him for life.

He is due back in court Friday for another hearing, and authorities expect his return to Brooklyn on the new charges.

Zazi’s father and a second man arrested last Saturday with the terrorist suspect were both freed on bail.

Mohammed Zazi, 53, declined to speak to reporters after posting $50,000 bail on charges of lying to the feds. And Queens imam Ahmad Afzali was released on $1.5 million bond after his parents put up their home.

Afzali, a sometimes NYPD informant accused of alerting Zazi to law enforcement surveillance, walked hand in hand with his wife, Fatimah, after his discharge.

“I’m very happy, very grateful,” Afzali said before heading home for a shish kebab dinner.

The 12-page federal memorandum laid out the case against Zazi, citing eyewitnesses, intercepted e-mails, phone taps and other “direct evidence.”

The 12-page federal memorandum laid out the case against Zazi, citing eyewitnesses, intercepted e-mails, phone taps and other “direct evidence.”

Zazi’s first move was an August 2008 flight to Peshawar, Pakistan, where he spent most of the next five months. While there, he was e-mailed the detailed bomb-making instructions, the feds said.

Zazi brought the directions on his computer when he drove a rental car to Queens “in furtherance of his criminal plans,” the feds charged.
The Colorado resident had rented the car through Sept. 14 - but taps on his cell phone showed Zazi cut his stay short after a warning call that the feds were watching him.
