New video shows Taliban chief greeting Times Square bomber

New footage has emerged showing the Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad meeting the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, Sky News reported Friday.

It shows Shahzad and Hakimullah Mehsud shaking hands and hugging sometime before the failed attack in New York on May 1.

During the video, Shahzad's voice was also heard.

He said: "Today, along with the leader of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan Hakimullah Mehsud and under the command of Amir al-Mumineen Mullah Mohammed Omar Mujahid (may Allah protect him), we are planning to wage an attack on your side, inshallah."

Last month, in a statement read out in a U.S. court, Shahzad admitted receiving training in Pakistan about how to "wage an attack" in America.

The 30-year-old defendant admitted: "How to make a bomb, how to detonate a bomb.

"I asked them (the Taliban) for some cash because I only had -- my cash was like $4,500 that I had with me when I was leaving.

"And I asked for some more cash because I had to do the whole operation here."

I read they built a bomb with his model with proper detonator and announced it would have killed thousands.That was the problem with the underpants bomber as well the bomb burned him but did not explode. They work out the detonator problems and we are so screwed, 1000’s will die and Obama administration won’t call Jihadists our enemy.
