I have pretty much the same scenario. It’s the told “let the auto thief get back in the car” routine.

It’s kind of interesting that they had ICE make the arrest, though. Maybe they just didn’t want to tip anybody.

What did this guy do to deserve being called a Terrorist by 0bamao?
I recall FT Hood for instance. Is it because nobody got killed or hurt
that qualifies the label?

I gather that incompetent bombers are part of our DHS plans.

...” both of them are Muslims I know that

Now, are you forgetting that Barry is also a Muslim? Of course not.

Why does the Government Press not want the “just another coincidence” to be Muslims?

Because, their historic Messiah IS a Muslim.

Totally justified actions by this democratic patriot against big real estate by attempting to blow up New Yorkers. /CNN

What’s even sadder is that there are progressive libtards who will actually believe it, and incorporate it into their conversational talking points.

And now AP has an article up on it:

AP sources: Bomber trained at Pakistan terror camp

By EILEEN SULLIVAN and KIMBERLY DOZIER Associated Press Writers © 2010 The Associated Press

May 4, 2010, 2:27PM

WASHINGTON — The suspect in the failed Times Square bombing told authorities he trained at a terrorism camp in Pakistan, officials said Tuesday as they worked to unravel the events leading up to the nearly catastrophic attack.

WASHINGTON — The suspect in the failed Times Square bombing told authorities he trained at a terrorism camp in Pakistan, officials said Tuesday as they worked to unravel the events leading up to the nearly catastrophic attack.

The report of training raises the possibility the attack was a coordinated international effort, but authorities have not said whether they believe that to be the case.

Of course it was a coordinated international effort. "Authorities" don't want to admit it though. They need to find that stripper guy, he's probably white

LOL. The system worked as designed. I suppose they always factor in the fact that the bomb fizzles as it is supposed to explode.

I see someone stuck in the keyword “old news”

If whoever did that would show me the thread that names the other two arrested posted long enough ago to make this information old news.

Or read the article and have the mods remove your errant keyword

Exclusive: Documents found near bomb suspect’s former Shelton home

The documents, mainly from 2000 and 2001, were found Tuesday by a Connecticut Post reporter outside the house at 119 Long Hill Ave. where the 30-year-old Shahzad lived until about a year ago. The house is vacant and up for sale.

Police earlier had searched the property, according to neighbors.

The papers, soaked from recent rains, paint a picture of the man police believe intended to set off a bomb housed in the Nissan Pathfinder he purchased recently from a Bridgeport woman off Criagslist. Shahzad lived at the small gray Colonial until about a year ago, neighbors said, and has since been empty and has a Realtor’s lock box on the front door.

The copy of his Pakistani passport shows a picture of a serious-looking young man dressed in a suit and tie. It lists his occupation as a student and his religion as Muslim. The document expired in February 2000. A copy of one entry shows a stamp allowing entry into the United Kingdom good until June 4, 1996 and is stamped Karachi, Pakistan.

Included were transcripts of his grades from Southeastern University in Washington, D.C. which he attended in the late 1990s and where he took mostly business classes. He was at best a mediocre student, with his transcript peppered with Cs and Ds, and even an F in one class, Basic Statistics. His grade point average for the five semesters he attended between 1997 and 1998 was 2.78.

That was good enough to gain him transfer admissions to the University of Bridgeport, where a Certificate of Eligibility for Non-immigrant Student Status shows he was awarded $6,700 in grant money to attend the school beginning in January of 1999. The remaining $14,700 tuition was covered by “family funds,” according to the document. He was studying for a bachelor’s degree in marketing, the certificate says.

Tax returns show he earned a modest income — his 2000 income, the year he earned his degree from U.B., was $5,458. His 2001 return, when he was living on Linden Avenue in Bridgeport, lists his occupation as an account analyst, from which he earned a gross income of $22,650 with a refund of $1,135, which was directly deposited into his checking account at People’s Bank.

Also in 2001, time cards show Shahzad worked for Accountants Inc, a temporary agency based in California. He spent most of his time working an average of four days a week at Elizabeth Arden in Stamford.

Nobody got hurt. The system worked as designed. /Napolitano drivel

The template is the Clinton administration shamelessly taking credit for one customs agent stopping the Ahmed Ressam millennium plot.

I hope they hang them all and put their heads on pikes on Brooklyn Bridge.

Bury their bodies in the city dump with carcasses of pigs from the abattoir.
