Gee, maybe if the poor foreclosed-upon Pakistani had been here working to pay his bills instead of flying to Pakistan to get terrorist training, he'd still have his house and he wouldn't have tried to blow up innocent citizens. /sar

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.
