An American man of Pakistani descent taken into custody in connection with the botched car bombing in New York City's Times Square was due to appear in court Tuesday.
The man, a U.S. citizen who had recently returned from a trip to Pakistan, was identified by officials as 30-year-old Faisal Shahzad. He was detained at 11:45 p.m. Monday night at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York before an overseas flight. Attorney General Eric Holder said at a news conference early Tuesday morning that Mr. Shahzad was preparing to fly to Dubai.
Mr. Shahzad, who was born in Karachi and left Pakistan at an unknown date for the U.S., was back in Pakistan between July and August 2009, Pakistani police and intelligence officials said Tuesday. During that trip he traveled to Peshawar, a gateway town to the tribal areas where the Pakistan army is engaged in a war against the Taliban. It was immediately unclear if he made subsequent visits to Pakistan.

Two thumbs up to the NYPD and the FBI for their work in nabbing the domestic terrorist. Well done! The people of Big Apple commends you.
Faisal Shahzad translates to Fecal Sh!thead, couldn’t resist
I don’t consider that Pakistani scum a citizen. He’s a jihadi first, last, and always.

He can be stripped of citizenship for being a terrorist.
They hate the West.
Why are they here ?
George W. should have sent Jose Padilla straight to Gitmo and told the SCOTUS that he would ignore any orders to release him. We needed to nip this tactic of using Citizen Jihadis right in the bud.
This will really upset Twinkletoes Bloomberg.

Drudge has his picture up now. He sure looks like the kooky, tea drinking, white people who hate health care!
I thought at one point they made the claim that the "suspect" held dual citizenship. Immigrants don't get that, they are supposed to surrender any other citizenship when they are naturalized. There is an oath to do so.
Peter Jennings took that oath and lied. He later bragged that he still held his Canadian citizenship too.
No, they need to find a used cigarette butt.
Because they hate the West. They are an intolerant lot. As one of the figures in CAIR has said, they are not here to see Islam equal to all other faiths, they are here to make Islam dominate the West.
It is Saudi funded expansion of Islam. Who do you think is paying for those mosques?
It isn't "missionary" work in that they aren't doing "good deeds" to build up a "savage" land, they are here to recruit and convert the subhuman kufir infidels.
As a citizen he can be executed for treason in committing acts of war against the US with the aid of members of Al Qaeda (training) with whom we are currently at war.
Why would you want to "kick out" a known enemy combantant rather than seeing him brought to a conclusive justice?
This usually means that one's ancestors were born in the foreign country, not that you were.
