CNN has learned the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) is considering the possibility that the incident in Times Square was more than just a lone wolf and that there is a connection to Pakistan according to a source familiar with the investigation.

Investigators believe this was an intended terrorist attack to set off explosives in Times Square—that the individuals intended for the tanks to explode but didn’t have the expertise to detonate it.

Probably tied to radical Muslim cleric Anwar al Awlaki the friend of Maj. Nidal Hasan who was the Ft. Hood Shooter. Hmm but you canÂ’t call them Islamic Terrorists can you!

4 Attacks in 1 year!!! This is not a joke folks, 2 attacks produced casualties!!!! And the MOST appalling of all is that they tried to pin this on a white guy in his 40’s because he changed his shirt!!!!

There is not even a shred of trust with these incompetents, not even when our lives are at stake!!!!

Diversion at EVERY TURN!!!!!

This “person of interest” bought the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder that was abandoned with the engine running - and with primitive, but potentially deadly payload in the rear - just two weeks ago, law enforcement and police sources told The Daily News.

Investigators aren’t certain whether he is the same man who drove the rolling bomb to the Crossroads of the World, but he has not been seen by his girlfriend - and has not shown up at his home or job - since the frightening incident on Saturday night.

uthorities have identified the buyer of the SUV used in a failed Times Square terror attack and are seeking him as a potential suspect, two law enforcement officials said Monday.

The buyer is a man of Pakistani descent who recently traveled to Pakistan. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the case is at a sensitive stage.

The officials say the man is a Connecticut resident who paid cash weeks ago for the SUV parked in Times Square on Saturday and rigged with a crude propane-and-gasoline bomb.

This is truly a surprise. I thought for sure the plot was Amish or Quaker in origin.

This is all NONSENSE!

Mayor Bloomberg clearly said it was a white male upset with Obamacontrol working alone!

How dare any facts try to trump the mayor's assessment!

Attorney General Eric Holder said it's too early to characterize the investigation as involving terrorism, though he also said that "there is no doubt that the person who did this intended to spread terror."

More doublespeak from the Obama Administration.

Ooops! My error! Napolitano has officially stated that terrorists are God fearing, anti-abortionists who thump their bibles and tote guns. I guess Holder was right after all -- it does not involve terrorists.
