Who is Huma Mian? Wife of Faisal Shahzad, Times Square bomb suspect
CS Monitor ^ | May 5, 2010 | Issam Ahmed

[Huma Mian has been identified as an American citizen who graduated from Colorado University and is the wife of Faisal Shazhad. She is now in Pakistan, where authorities have detained her father.]

Lahore, Pakistan

Pakistani authorities have arrested several members of the family of Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad, including the father of his wife, Huma Mian.

News reports in the US initially suggested a possible Colorado connection between Shahzad’s wife, Huma Mian, and Najibullah Zazi, an Afghan national who pleaded guilty to a foiled New York subway attack. But attention in Pakistan has turned to a small, peaceful village on the outskirts of Peshawar where Mr. Shahzad grew up.

Residents in Mohib Banda, population 10,000, described Shahzad’s family as well respected and middle class in interviews given to Pakistani media, while some suggest he has been framed.

I don’t believe the propaganda from the prettily named Christian Science Monitor...

According to CU enrollment records, the sisters of Huma Asif Mian, Hina Asif Mian and Suba Asif Mian also attended CU. Hina received an accounting degree in December of 2003 and then earned a master’s degree in accounting from CU-Denver. Suba attended school on the Boulder campus between August 2003 and August 2005. She transferred to UC-D and received her bachelor’s degree in biology in May 2007. The sisters shared a CU Family Housing unit from July 2002 to July 2004.

“There is no indication that they ever did anything wrong during their time here,” Hilliard said.

Hina Asif Mian’s brother, Mohammad Taufique Mian, is studying petroleum engineering at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden. Their father, Mohammad Asif Mian, earned a master’s in science and petroleum engineering at Mines in 1980 and a master’s in mineral economics in 1985, school spokeswoman Karen Gilbert said.

When I heard that Faisal Shazhad had given interrogators useful information almost immediately after his capture I was puzzled. Why would someone so committed to a cause so quickly and freely undermine it by giving up damaging information? Reading that his wife’s family is in custody in Pakistan explains it.

Can somebody, somewhere *pleeeeeease* start asking some questions about the woman who sold her SUV to Mr. Shahzad in an all-cash/no-paperwork/no-questions-asked-not-even-his-name transaction? This is not something that normal people do. Not that I’m a fan of taxation, but the sale price needs to be documented for transfer tax purposes, not to mention that if you buy a car without any documentation or payment records, the seller can report the car stolen and you end up getting arrested and the seller getting the car back free.

Maybe the seller is just a ditz, but it warrants some looking into and some public disclosure.

Sure she is. She married him so he could stay in this country.

Pakistanis are well understood to take drivable cars or trucks which they then drive until the wheels fall off.

The next stop after a sale to a Pak is the crushing machine at the junkyard.

These guys are very tight with their money. Like dealing with your own mother or grandmother who bacame a young adult during the midst of the Great Depression.

Actually that’s basically what I do too, because I don’t see the point in wasting huge amounts of money on cars. I prefer to use my extra cash to buy houses in depressed markets. But I’ve had paperwork and payment documentation every time I’ve bought a car (always by cashier’s check, except in one case where the dealer — used car department of a new car dealership — said he’d be happy to accept my personal check). It’s kind of hard to get valid registration, insurance, and inspections for a car you can’t prove you own, and the fines for failing to have those things would add up quickly. Just doesn’t make sense to buy (or sell) a car without any paperwork, unless you’ve got some illegal purpose for buying it.

"Can somebody, somewhere *pleeeeeease* start asking some questions about the woman who sold her SUV to Mr. Shahzad in an all-cash/no-paperwork/no-questions-asked-not-even-his-name transaction?"

The NY Post ran a feature about her a few days ago, and she is exactly what she seems to be, a college student who sold her clunker for cash on the Craiglist. And contrary to what you may think, most people when they sell a 15 year-old car for cash simply hand over the title and run away with the cash before the buyer changes their mind and/or tries to start the car. There typically is not any elaborate paperwork, if there is any at all.

I keep hearing about how much “pressure’ this guy was under when they foreclosed on his house. Why doesn’t anybody use some logic here? The guy QUIT his job of his own volition knowing he had a mortgage to pay.
He didn’t give a rat’s behind about that house. And he didn’t LIVE at the place he rented where the FBI was supposedly staked out. He had NEVER LIVED there. He was using it for storage only and only came once in awhile for maybe twenty minutes at a time. He never spent nights there. So WERE did he really live? Who did he live with? The FBI lost track of him because he never was where they THOUGHT he was.
Had it not been for the CBP agent that caught his name at the airport, he would have been gone.
