Sources: Suspect Should Have Been On Watch List
Authorities Questioning As Many As 8 People In Connection To Times Square Bombing
Sources also told CBS News on Tuesday morning that multiple people have been taken into custody for questioning in Pakistan in connection with the 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.
Congressman Peter King said he was not surprised given what law enforcement sources were telling him.
“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.”

When are we going to get serious about profiling and a moratorium on immigration from the Middle-East? When NYC and Washington D.C. are burning?
