Times Square Car Bomb : Pakistani Held

Just a day after pakistan taliban claimed responsibility of foiled attack on USA at times square , Newyork , American authorities have arrested a pakistani born , usa citizen, Faisal Shahzad.

He was trying to escape usa and was arrested from JFK Airport in newyork. He was about to board flight from newyork to dubai.

This is what has been made public about the suspect :

Name : Faisal Shahzad

Age : 30

Birth Country : Pakistan

Citizenship : USA

Lives In : Connecticut

He is said to have visited pakistan recently and stayed there for five months in peshawar , the city which has seen lot of bomb attacks in one year by taliban which shows that taliban has got strong network in the city.

Faisal is said to have purchased the car one week back in which bomb was kept. He had paid $1300 for the car.

It is understandable that faisal wont be alone to execute the plan which might have been 2nd worst attack in usa , if he would have succeeded.
