GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - An acquaintance of the pastor who once planned to burn copies of the Quran to mark the 9/11 anniversary says the Rev. Terry Jones headed to New York aboard a Friday night flight.
K.A. Paul, a Christian evangelist who runs a ministry in Houston, says he bought the ticket for Jones.
Jones has said he wants to meet with the imam overseeing a proposed mosque and Islamic center to be built near ground zero.
Earlier Friday, Jones' son, Luke, said that the Quran-burning won't take place today but couldn't say whether there would be a future event.
