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.

This is probably one of the biggest blunders by the Illegal's regime so far. This Muzzie, who became a U.S. citizen in 2009, goes back to Pakisan, stays there for about 5 months, probably to get bomb making training and a Muzzie recharge, returns to the U.S., builds and deploys a bomb, all without ever attracting any Federal law enforcement attention. Of course, to view the trip as a bit suspicious and put him under survielance, might have been viewed as "racial profiling" and, hence, far worse than allowing him to cold bloodedly murder a few hundred people.
When exactly will an apology come from the media to all white men?

Times Square: Police look for white man taped near bomb scene

So far, the police investigation focused on finding a white man in his 40s recorded by a security camera at the car stopped the suspect, taking off his shirt and looking around, said Barbara Celis. However, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and NBC acknowledged being a little hasty to draw this man, since Times Square for millions of people pass daily.

Washington Post: Car bomb in Times Square started to detonate, would’ve caused ‘sizeable’ number of deaths: Police said Sunday that they were reviewing surveillance video that may have captured a suspect in Saturday’s failed car bombing in Times Square, describing him as a white man in his 40s who repeatedly looked back at the rigged SUV in a furtive manner and exhibited other

Law enforcement officials offered a more detailed description of the makeup of the failed car bomb found in Times Square on Saturday night, and said they were reviewing surveillance footage that showed a white man who appeared to be in his 40s walking away from the area as he looked over his shoulder and removed a layer of clothing.

Many of the arrogant yankee folk who infest and post comments at www.abc.go.com are VERY disappointed that the culprit is not an ‘ignorant, south of the Mason Dixen (sic) line, southern moron “teabagger” with pale colored skin’.
And they were so SURE about it, too.
I did not bother to point out yesterday that they were almost certainly WRONG, due to the fact that while spouting their self righteous, holier-than-they sanctimony they failed to take the following in to account regarding the OVERWHELMING majority of the people they so haughtily despise:
1) The ‘white people’ they WISH did this vile act are people who love their country dearly and do not WANT to make bombs so as to blow things up and kill people.
...but,
2) They are also people who study hard, use appropriate materials when making things and take care to correctly assemble the things they make.
...and, therefore,
3) They are people who, should they actually decide to make bombs so as to blow things up and kill people, would be VERY good at it.
Thanks guys, I appreciate it!
Eric Holder also seemed to forget that fact during his “announcement”, which I saw on my local NBC affiliate news this morning.
Syria?
...or, given who is CURRENTLY running things, Israel?
Good point.
We may not be able to “torture” foreign enemy combatants, but it’s OUR business how we punish treasonous U.S. Citizens.
I'll get back to you on that after I make a phone Coulter find out.
Incredibly interesting links you posted. All those references to a white man are telling. All I’ve seen about this on non-cable television is the repetition of the ‘shirt changer’ video. I wonder, is the man arrested on the jet to Dubai the shirt changer or was that just another load of media crap?
Dick Cheney.
Although, if HE had been involved then right now there’d probably be nothing but a large, smoking crater where Times Square used to be...
;-)
I think, in the interests of national security, there needs to be a federal moratorium on “shirt changing” in public places.
Too hot in your sweatshirt? Want to slip it off so you’ll be cooler in just a tee-shirt?
TOO BAD. That’s just another one of the sacrifices you’ll have to make to keep this country FREE!
;-)
This being the guy NYC mayor Bloom(ing idiot)berg said was possibly mad about 0bamaCare.
Because Janet NappyPollenToes thinks the system is working just fine. She thinks the border is secure. She thinks she's smart. Thank GOD for that vendor that alerted real authorities.
Works for me. Voulunteers, anyone? anyone?
Take a number.
Do we know yet if the shirt switcher and this guy are one in the same?
Mayor Bloomberg (quote From Neal Boortz page)
“If I had to guess 25 cents, this would be exactly that. Homegrown, or maybe a mentally deranged person, or somebody with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything,”
naw, it’s capped at $75 million
I guess those stories over the weekend about the Pakistani taliban taking credit for it were true?
I understood that if negligence could be proved, no one’s pocket was deep enough.
our congressional clunkers are right now running around trying to get a bill together to raise the oil spill cap to $10 billion, so something isn’t going well for the donks on this one.
