SNIPPET: “He has a black heart - and a sweet tooth.
The Times Square terror suspect got $4,000 cash for his warped plot in a clandestine meeting at a Long Island Dunkin’ Donuts, sources told the Daily News on Thursday night.
Faisal Shahzad drove from Connecticut to the doughnut shop near the Ronkonkoma Long Island Rail Road station to pick up his blood money, the sources said.
The doughnut connection came on a day of fast-breaking developments in the probe - including the arrest of three Pakistani nationals.”
“Pakistan holds man linked to New York bomb suspect”

SNIPPET: “WASHINGTON: Pakistan has arrested a suspect linked to the Pakistani Taliban who said he helped the man accused of trying to set off a car bomb in New York’s Times Square, The Washington Post reported on Thursday.
The suspect provided an “independent stream” of evidence that the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was behind the failed attack on May 1, the newspaper said, citing US officials.
The suspect also admitted helping Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistani-American man being held over the Times Square plot, to travel to Pakistan’s tribal areas for bomb-making training, the report said.
Officials familiar with the investigation cautioned that there have been inconsistencies in the two suspects’ accounts, the Post said.
The suspect in Pakistani custody “is believed to have a connection to the TTP,” a US intelligence official was quoted as saying.”
