Pakistani-American Arrested in Times Square Plot

The man was identified as Shahzad Faisal of Connecticut, according to NBC News.

American Who Recently Visited Pakistan Eyed in Times Square Bomb Plot
Federal authorities have identified a person of interest in Saturday night's Times Square bomb attempt -- a naturalized American citizen who was in Pakistan for several months and returned to the United States recently, investigative sources told Fox News.
The latest developments seem to support investigators' suspicions that there was a foreign connection behind the failed car bomb attempt in New York City, senior Obama administration officials told Fox News, shedding light on the growing body of evidence.
Sources say that evidence includes international phone calls made by the person of interest, who has not been identified publicly. The Associated Press identified the person as a man of Pakistani descent, citing unnamed law enforcement sources.
Police also have interviewed the registered owner of the bomb-laden sports-utility vehicle. They say he is not a suspect, but he recently sold the dark-colored 1993 Nissan Pathfinder on Craigslist to another individual, whom the Associated Press reports was the Pakistani-American.
The bomb scare forced the evacuation of Times Square on a busy Saturday night, as police used a robot to break into the smoking SUV and diffuse the makeshift explosive, which was made from everyday items, such as propane tanks and firecrackers.
One Obama administration official, while acknowledging the crudeness of the bomb, cautioned, "Do not necessarily assume that the plot behind it was not sophisticated."
The SUV's vehicle identification number had been removed from Pathfinder's dashboard, but it was stamped on the engine and axle, and investigators used it to find the owner of record. CBS News reports that owner told investigators he recently sold the vehicle for $1,300 to someone who looked "Middle Eastern" or "Hispanic." The buyer reportedly paid in $100 bills.
Sources told Fox News that investigators are focusing on the similarities between the failed attack in New York City and both the 2007 attack on Glasgow's airport in Scotland and the attempted bombing of a London nightclub the same year. Propane gas and gasoline were used in all three incidents.
In New York, police and FBI were examining hundreds of hours of video from around the area and wanted to speak with a man in his 40s who was videotaped shedding his shirt near the Pathfinder.
The video shows the man slipping down Shubert Alley and taking off his shirt, revealing another underneath. In the same clip, looks back in the direction of the smoking vehicle and puts the first shirt in a bag.
They traveled to Pennsylvania for video shot by a tourist of a different person, and were evaluating the tape and determining whether to make it public.
On Monday, the White House for the first time clearly defined the attempted attack as an act of terrorism, without saying whether it was the work of a foreign or domestic plot.
"I think anybody that has the type of material that they had in a car in Times Square, I would say that that was intended to terrorize. Absolutely," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said when asked by Fox News how the White House would categorize the incident. "And I would say that whoever did that would be categorized as a terrorist. Yes."
Obama administration officials previously stopped short of declaring the incident terrorism.
New York Gov. David Paterson immediately called the attempted attack an "act of terrorism" after police were alerted to the bomb and cleared out Times Square Saturday night. But Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday said it was too early to officially designate the incident as terrorism.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, in several interviews since Sunday, has by turns described the incident as a potential or likely terrorist act, though she said investigators need to find out more about the origin of the plot.
"It certainly is something that I would not rule out," she told Fox News on Monday morning.
A Pakistani Taliban group released a videotape that appeared to claim responsibility for the incident, but New York City officials said they had no evidence to support that.
MSNBC:
NEW YORK - Authorities arrested a suspect in the attempted weekend car bombing in Times Square, NBC News' justice correspondent Pete Williams reported early Tuesday morning.
A U.S. citizen of Pakistani descent, Shahzad Faisal, was trying to leave the country Monday night at John F Kennedy International Airport when he was picked up by Customs and Border Protection agents, Williams reported.
Earlier, an official told The Associated Press that the potential suspect recently traveled to Pakistan. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the case was at a sensitive stage.
The officials said the man was 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.
NBC's Williams reported the man's name was on an e-mail that was sent to the seller of the car last month, as well as other evidence suggesting he had a role in the attempted bombing.

Hope you don't mind, I changed your headline a bit, adding the word MUSLIM.
I guess that renders your joke a little bit dead.
Let's just say he's a Fundamentalist MUSLIM Tea Partier.
No problem. The gag at the end is better anyway
:)
I don't see the change???
I freaking love "Fundamentalist Muslim Tea Partier!" And I don't read Jawa, regularly. So you the infidels!
Okay, back to working on my Moehammy cartoon for May 20! I keep coming back to a pile of stinking turds, but that's so unimaginative. I know I can do better. I was going to draw curly things that would hopefully symbolize the "stinkiness," but I'm not a good artist.
We could blow these people right up there to their "god." Oh wait a minute, BO told them we wouldn't retaliate. Guess we're just sitting ducks. How many Muslims are there in our country now? Oh look, it's Eric Holder talking about what would have been a deadly attack. He says the intent was to kill Americans. Hmmm.
The cops found a suspect, a man, a man from Connecticut, a man who went to Pakistan, a naturalised American of Pakistani decent who went to Pakistan.
Wow, it's a good thing I read the papers or I wouldn't know what's going on here.
Oh, maybe not so much. He was, according to the BBC News, 'arrested.' I think that means he was arrested, but I'm not sure any more. Maybe I'll find out he is a 'suspect' and a 'man.' Maybe he's from 'Connecticut.'
And you thought American Media was bad. That BBC report (as originally written) might just as well not have been written at all.
I nearly shot MYSELF for tinkering with one of my most famous headlines, along the line of: "Philobarbarism as Left Dhimmi Fascist Orthopraxy." I thought of adding "Islam" in there somewhere, and that's when the nail gun came outta the closet. Man, it was close.... You just don't mess with perfection.
Our media, mainstream as we call it, is far from perfect; but they do some things very well: they get the story and they get it fully. They go on from there to twist and omit and outright lie to the public, but they do get the story, on time and well-written. They do a professional job, fro which, often enough, we have to smash apart and rip open the crap they give us so we can find the truth of what the story is. Sadly, we don't always do it as well as we could.
I raise this issue because I go to the forum at the EDL for news of England. I see little evidence of an understanding of the fundamentals of reporting there. I see other sites, mostly Communist and other leftist sites where the writing is good and the reporting is fairly well done in spite of the obvious lies. Our own, as it were, are not performing well, based on what I read. If anyone knows of a good source of news from and about the EDL, please let me know.
he paid cash for the car, removed one VIN, got a bogus plate, his name on an email, the fucked-up alarm clocks, the half dead batteries, the wet fire crackers, and even his act in front of the cctv... prove one thing only!
He is NOT a Jihadi and Faisal didn't want to become a Shahid (Martyr)!
Fact! He was arrested at JFK airport on his way to his wife back home in Pakistan!
This stupid M/F moron, couldn't even fake an "Work accident" properly!!
TOO MUCH QORA'N EFFECTS YOUR BRAIN !
No, no, no. The politically CORRECT phrase is "Fundamentalist Muslim Tea BAGGER".
My apologies to Faisal the Red Shirt Guy. I thought you couldn't possibly be that fookin' stoooopid, but I was wrong.
(Oh, the fun IowaHawk is going to have with this. I can't wait. The one he did on the Glasgow Airport screw-ups is a classic.)
For the record, I doubt this guy they arrested is the guy who set off the bomb.
I think he is a co-conspirator.
MR,
Thanks for getting to the story so quickly. I saw a "Breaking News Alert" on Fox about this story, went to my computer, and found you already had it up.
That's how quick you were. You beat Fox.
