NEW YORK - Authorities arrested a U.S. citizen in connection with the failed bombing attempt in New York's Times Square as he tried to leave the country, Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday.
Faisal Shahzad, 30, was arrested at 11:45 p.m. ET Monday night by Customs and Border Protection agents as he attempted to board an Emirates airlines flight to Dubai at New York's JFK airport, officials said.
"It is clear that the intent behind this terrorist act was to kill Americans," Holder said.

What lying nonsense from MSNBC.
He was
Shouldn’t this be in breaking news with the others?
Yeah, but they just have to throw in the “U.S. Citizen” comment.
(sorry for the Blink tag, annoying habit I won’t repeat)
“Authorities arrested a U.S. citizen in connection with the failed bombing”
They just forgot to mention he is a nationalized pakistani.
But made sure to emphasis he was a US citizen.
No editing done here.
I guess Mayor Bloomberg’s dumb remark that it could be a white guy who was upset about health care was misdirection?
Let me guess, Southern Baptist?
They were just venting their disappointment that it wasn’t some over 50 white guy Tea Partier...Darn. //sarc//
You caught that too??
They didnt say he was naturalised in 2009 like the rest of the stories.
MSNBC anti-American POS.
Apparently, according to FoxNews(a real news organization) he made it through boarding security and was actually on the plane when the plane was recalled top the gate for security check.
Heck of a job you bin doing Bami, so how did the guy get on the plane again.
Hey I know you have a lot of things on your mind right now, with your oil spill and all, the total failure of your bureaucracy to start containment as required by the OPA, so I know we’re keeping you from the destruction of the American free market economy.
ta ta — See you at the hearings after January 2011.
I guess this puts to rest the MSM hope that the perp was a Tea Party Person disgruntled about the passage of Obama’s health care bill... or are they (MSM) keeping hope alive that there may still be a connection... Idiot libs are the one that will get us killed, not patriots.
Not only was he on the plane, but the door was closed and the airbridge retracted.
I have to wonder how a “person of interest” made it through our great Department of Homeland Security triple layer ICE, terrorist watch/no-fly lists, and TSA system?
It is the Keystone Cops, and the only advantage we have is we are battling Keystone Terrorists.
Faisal Bob Shahzad of the Dubai Tea Party, no doubt...
A Paki terrorist? My, my. I am shocked, I tells ya, shocked! (/sarc)
Right you are. In fact, the plane had already left the jet way and was heading for the tarmac when it was called back.
I thought the blink was a nice touch...
Reverend Franklin Graham supplied the explosives and Karl Rove drove shazhad to the airport.
Did I miss anyone involved in this conspiracy?
