NEW YORK—The man who set off smoke bombs on a crowded New York subway train before shooting 10 people last April pleaded guilty on Tuesday to terrorism and weapons charges.

Frank James, 63, appeared in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn and read aloud from a short statement confessing to the attack on a Manhattan-bound N train on April 12, for which he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
