BREAKING: Pakistani Arrested in NYC Car Bomb Attack
Fox News ^

Posted on 05/04/2010 12:03:05 AM PDT by TruthHound

BREAKING NEWS -- A Pakistani man believed to be the driver of an SUV used as a car bomb in a failed terror attack on Times Square was taken into custody late Monday by FBI agents and local police detectives while trying to leave the country, U.S. officials said.

The suspect, Faisal Shahzad, was identified by customs agents at John F. Kennedy International Airport at about 11:45 p.m. Monday and was stopped before departing on an Emirates airlines flight to Dubai, according to U.S. Attorney Eric Holder and other officials. Shahzad is a naturalized U.S. citizen and had recently returned from a five-month trip to Pakistan, where he had a wife, according to officials who spoke to The Associated Press early Tuesday on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation.

Shahzad was being held in New York and couldn't be contacted. He has a Shelton, Conn., address; a phone number listed there wasn't in service. Investigators were searching his home.

Law enforcement officials say Shahzad bought the SUV, a 1993 Nissan Pathfinder, from a Connecticut man about three weeks ago and paid cash. The officials spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the case.

The people running our government are as dangerous as he is and his group. 2012 can’t get here soon enough.

When does Bloomberg start apologizing to every body he’s accused?

If it had been a white male the damn thing would have gone off. At least for awhile the mussie recruits seems to be technologically inept..but that wont last long in my opinion because they just keep trying again and again..

The only surprise here is that he’s not actually named Mohammed.

Is he lawyered up?

I mean, just because he left a ticking bomb, and his buddies may be leaving ticking bombs all over the place, doesn’t mean he can’t clam up under the 5th Amendment until he gets his plea agreement.....next October.

This guy just became a citizen in 2009 under Obama’s watch? I want to know the details. It is also reported his wife lives in Pakistan. Would that not be a red flag to someone in the State Department while one is gaining citizenship?

Thought it was supposed to be a “white” guy. The media is so stupid.

yeah well THAT thread has an MSNBC source, so it was questionable. This thread has a Fox source. Technically not a dupe thread ... ;-)

At least you didn’t ask him/her “Didn’t you search first?!??”
