Bomb suspect lost home to foreclosure

Chase sued him in September after he defaulted on $200,000 loan

The suspect in the Times Square bombing attempt defaulted on a $200,000 mortgage on his Connecticut home, court records show, and that the property is now in foreclosure.

The foreclosure records show Faisal Shahzad took out the mortgage on a home in Shelton, Conn., in 2004, and he co-owned the home with a woman named Huma Mian.

Chase Home Finance LLC sued Shahzad in September to force the foreclosure. The case is pending in Milford Superior Court.

Former neighbors described him as a family man who reportedly said he worked on Wall Street.

After being forced to leave the Shelton home, Shahzad moved to a home in Bridgeport, Conn., and FBI agents searched that property early Tuesday, removing filled plastic bags. A bomb squad came and went without entering as local police and FBI agents gathered in the cordoned-off street.

In Shelton, former neighbor Brenda Thurman told the New York Times that Shahzad and his wife, Huma Mian, spoke limited English and kept mostly to themselves. The couple had two young children, a girl and a boy, she said.

Thurman told the newspaper that the couple had lived at the house at 119 Long Hill Avenue for about three years before moving out last year.

"He was a little bit strange," she told the Associated Press. "He didn't like to come out during the day."

Thurman showed reporters a laptop computer showing a Facebook photo of her neighbor, the New Haven Independent reported. The photo showed Shahzad with a woman and a child.

Shahzad left around May 2009, Thurman said, and his wife followed about a month later.

Is the media trying to spin this, as Mayor Bloomberg tried to cast this Isalmist attack, as a “disgruntled” American “lone nut” who is upset with Obama’s bailouts and Obamacare?!!!

Oh, well then that explains everything. Completely justified now to try to blow up Times Square!

Carry on...

ahhhh...

That NASTY “foreclosure” just snuck up on them and stole their house.

That’s exactly the implication of the headline.

How about: “Bomb suspect also a deadbeat homeowner who didn’t make his mortgage payment”

if you want to “connote” something.

How does someone who speaks limited English become a naturalized citizen? Do they set the bar lower if the person is a Muslim?

Waiting for the MSM to make this Bush's fault. Maybe the foreclosure will be the hook to do that with.

And to think that dirty scum put a carbomb near The Lion King, attended by children.

May he rot in hell for all time.

How convenient. The Ft. Hood shooter was plagued by the racist army, this poor fellow was plagued by the big bank. America is a terrible place....

I work in the credit industry and I’m telling you right now, it is commonplace for middle-easteners to take out loans, run up credit card debt, and then just jet home when they intended to do so anyway.

It’s foolish for the card companies to give them credit but they do it anyway. It is STANDARD practice for foreign “students” to get cards, run up $10,000 in debt, ship all the property home and then split.

It’s not easy to collect debt from Mohamad in Yemen.

Let's run down the list:

Mid 40's? Nope.

"White" guy? Nope.

Tea Party type? Nope.

Christian militia type? Nope.

Mayor Bloomberg calling you an idiot would be an insult to idiots the world over.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Looks like to me that he was attempting to look like a happy, contented American and couldn’t quite make the homeowner thing work. His wife and children are back in Pakistan. Weird.
