SNIPPET: “U.S. law enforcement officials say there is growing evidence the Times Square bomber had ties to radical elements overseas and did not act alone.
One senior official said there are several individuals believed to be connected with the bombing and that at least one of them is a Pakistani-American.”
SNIPPET: “The Washington Post, quoting Obama Administration sources, said the attempted bombing “increasingly appears to have been coordinated by several people in a plot with international links.”
Other law enforcement officials said the investigation was closing in on the driver of the vehicle and an unknown number of others connected to him.”
SNIPPET: “Officials told ABC News Senior Justice correspondent Pierre Thomas that the Connecticut owner of the vehicle told them he had sold the Nissan SUV last month in an unrecorded sale to an “Arabic or Latino looking man” in his 20’s or 30’s, for a few hundred dollars in cash.”
SNIPPET: “The license plate on the car was apparently stolen from an auto repair shop outside Bridgeport, Connecticut, according to law enforcement officials.
The authorities told ABC News that the previous owner provided a description of the man who bought the car, and told investigators the vehicle was sold for several hundred dollars in cash, with no written records identifying the purchaser.
The license plate found on the Pathfinder also came from Connecticut, #98CY09, according to photographs of the vehicle.
Authorities tell ABC News that the plate came from a vehicle that was in a repair shop near Bridgeport, Connecticut.”
