Times Square bomb suspect arrested 'at last second' (Has he been Mirandized and is he talking?)

A naturalized American citizen from Pakistan arrested overnight in the Times Square bombing investigation will appear in a Manhattan federal courtroom Tuesday morning to face formal charges in the case.

Faisal Shahzad, 30, was on board an Emirates Airlines plane at JFK International Airport when he was taken into custody, law enforcement officials said. A law enforcement official told CNN Shahzad's final destination was Pakistan.

Authorities removed three passengers from the Dubai-bound flight late Monday, according to a spokesman for the airline, but two were allowed back on board, officials said.

Shahzad was arrested at 11:45 p.m. Monday, Attorney General Eric Holder said early Tuesday from Washington.

A federal law enforcement source said Shahzad nearly made it out of the country.

"They just caught him at the last second," according to the source, who said Shahzad was on board the flight to Dubai and the jetway had been pulled back when the plane was called to return to the gate.

A lot of crap needs to change.

The media peed all over themselves about the raid and capture of the evil Hutaree Militia here in Michigan but barely a peep about their release yesterday.

“The evil “white” guy scenario is down the drain.”

Reminds me of when the DC Snipers were out and about. They were just certain it was a ‘middle aged white guy’ weren’t they?

The Feds were onto him and following him. They let him pay for his ticket and proceed to the boarding gate and board the plane. The boarding ramp was removed and then put back so the Feds could board and arrest him. They let it go this far on purpose to see if he made contact with any co-conspirators.

......Why in the heck didn’t they stop him as he was going through customs?.....

Because you don’t go through customs outbound.

“They just caught him at the last second...”

Actually I think that would have to be *before* he planted the bomb...

Mayor Bloomers bet that it was someone against Obamacare.

Nice to know what he thinks of a majority of Americans.

The Knights of Columbus bombers are foiled again! Seriously, we should send him back to Pakistan. They can deal with him more in line with what he deserves...

Interesting because this morning it was said they allowed him to board and the plane pull out of the gate because they were watching for accomplices.

I think I am going with CNN on this one.

A very 24ish apprehension - “He’s broken through our perimeter! The plane is on the runway and he has the computer disk!”

To: Protect the Bill of Rights

So, here is the official li(n)e being put out by the Obama’s attorney general (and former terrorist defense lawyer) Holder about yesterday’s last-minute arrest of the Times Square bomber:

The Feds were onto him and following him. They let him pay for his ticket and proceed to the boarding gate and board the plane. The boarding ramp was removed and then put back so the Feds could board and arrest him. They let it go this far on purpose to see if he made contact with any co-conspirators.

Right, it’s always best to let a violent suspect burrow himself among scores of innocent civilians before trying to apprehend him. Does Obama think we’re all that big a bunch of idiots? Well, yes, of course he does. After all, we elected him our first Black Muslim Marxist president.

You nailed it. It was exactly how the events of last night were portrayed.

Good thing he didn’t have a bomb in his underoos.

Did they find out what his problem with Obamacare is yet?

And which TEA party he attended on April 15th?

Or was he still in Pok-ee-stan with the Taliban then?

The whole "looking for a white male" thing is going to go into the memory hole so fast it'll make your head spin, and that'll be the last you ever hear of it.

Standing by for a history update from the Ministry of Truth.
