Sources tell CBS News that multiple people have been taken into custody for questioning in Pakistan in connection with the Times Square bomb plot.
Authorities are not saying who the potential suspects are or where they are being held, but they say there were raids Monday night and Tuesday morning in different locations. It's believed between four and eight people are being held, and there are reports that some of them may be related to the suspect arrested overnight in New York.
"The question is is he working with people over seas or is there just a connection to overseas?" said Rep. King, R-Long Island. "It's definite that the authorities believe that there is an overseas involvement, generally a potential overseas involvement, and it involves the Middle East."
Investigators have been working on the theory this person of interest purchased the SUV a few weeks ago in Connecticut, for $1,300 in an all-cash deal where no paperwork exchanged. The seller described the buyer as a young man of Middle Eastern or Hispanic descent, but police weren't shedding light on this aspect of the investigation.
Authorities have been examining phone calls and emails -- the communication around the purchase of the SUV -- and have discovered the buyer has had some contacts overseas. They spent part of Monday reviewing his travel history.
Investigators had said there was no direct link to al Qaeda or any terrorist group.

“Up To 8 Probed” -— OMG -— and I thought this administration was totally against TORTURE!!! And now, we hear they are PROBING people, no less, and on Obama’s watch!!! What will we hear of next.
(Oh, sarc by the way, in case you couldn’t tell)
$6,000 in cash!
Pakis arrested the muzzie bomber’s family. I’m sure the Kenyan and his stooge Holder are lecturing the Pakis on why they shouldn’t interrogate the muzzie bomber’s familty without a lawyer.
I read it the same way as you did....LOL Hard to get good help these days.
Guess you didn’t get the memo.
Dear Reader told us that the Taliban aren’t really terrorists. They’re just a bit cranky, that’s all. Nothing to see here. Move along.
That was the ultimate destination, even though the Emirates flight was to Dubayy initially.
For sure that is what they are poking through now. Pock-ee-stan cannot well afford to have roti all over their face what with their boy Kasab being sent to the gallows in India (foregone conclusion; will be officialized this Thursday) over the Mumbai massacre attack.
It is no wonder this scumbag of a scoundrel Faisal headed straight for that terrorist haven of havens, KARACHI. You know, the "Great Ones" have all gone through there. Abu Nidal. Ramzi Yousef. Zacarias Moussaoui and Richard Reid. Khaled Sheikh Muhammad. Muhammad Atta and Ziad Jarrah. Ayman al-Zawahiri. The 26/11 Mumbai Operation teams. KARACHI. Heck, Daniel Pearl had his head sawed off there. One big, Islamofascist cultural cesspit of KARACHI.
Corrupt. Dank. Dark. Stinking. Aisles and crawlspaces and smelly mosques reeking of B.O. and toejam sandwiched in Korangi and even comfy homes of current or former ISI officers. Color ads in the local Urdu language paper boldly and unashamedly advertising ways to apply for the "Diversity Visa" to be part of a lottery to live and work legally in the USA with a prized Green Card. Right there in Terrorist Central, placed by the Department of State! The Black Cats and other hitmen. Madrassahs out the ass. Minarets and AK 47s. Money flows and no questions asked. Fake travel docs, passports, you name it. Lakshar e Toiba (Kashmiri terrorists). Al-Qaeda. Indian Mujahadeen. And dudes like Faisal Shahzad. Who, during a time of WAR in most normal countries, would be shot for TREASON after trials at secure, ACLU-free places like Guantanamo Base. At least this is how such ilk would be treated were the "Adults" back in charge at the White House and NSC again. This just sucks seven ways to Sunday. Let us hope the Adults are in charge again real soon, and also this Pakistan/Karachi terror network set on blowing up cities around the world, India, and USA alike these days, get their just desserts. I just dont see it coming under imcompetent Obama, and one of these days, following the Ft. Hood massacre, an even greater attack may well occur I fear. This man has exposed us to so much, shame on America electing him. Elections do have consequences. We can say that in all certainty now, advance of the next big blast. "Hope". "Change". "KaBOOM!"
/sarc w/ considerable anger
Thank goodness for Peter King, if anyone can, he will find out what the inside skinny is.
Barney loves a good probing from behind!
Adam Gadahn is in Karachi, too.
shit theyre all there, if not in Waziristan
I am sure they are on to his tail now, if the Paki officials at the top dont put the kabosh on it now.
I was probed once... and it was very painful.
Up To 8 Probed...

The new IRS agents will be going after the guy who sold the SUV with no paperwork for cash without paying the government it’s “rightly dues”. Forget about the Islamic terrorist trying to kill people.
HHMMM. He had money to pay cash for his car, his plan ticket, but “lost” his house to foreclosure? Aw, poor guy. I wonder if he got a government bailout for that.
Yup, that guy is probably being probed now. and then it will the rest of us tea-party types next.
