Sources: Shahzad Had Contact With Awlaki, Taliban Chief, and Mumbai Massacre Mastermind

Accused Times Square Bomber Faisal Shahzad linked up with the Pakistani Taliban through the internet, ABC News has been told by law enforcement and intelligence sources close to the investigation. Once the Taliban identified him as more valuable in the U.S. than in Pakistan, they trained him to return to execute his bomb attack.
But according to these sources, Shahzad also had a web of jihadist contacts that included big names tied to terror attacks in the U.S. and abroad, including the figure who has emerged as a central figure in many recent domestic terror attempts - radical American-born Muslim cleric Anwar Awlaki.
Besides Awlaki, sources say Shahzad was also linked to a key figure in the Pakistani Taliban, its Emir Beitullah Mehsud, who was killed in a drone missile strike in 2009. The Mehsuds had been family friends of Shahzad, who is the son of a former high-ranking Pakistani military officer.

That ws just his mortgage advisor.
Dammit, Faisalo, in Pakistan, we told you not to use cash to buy a plane ticket. You have to blame Bush for causing you to lose your home and causing temporary insanity. Now, you will have to wait until my second term to become my Director of Homeland Security.
Just a coincidence how many domestic "lone nut" terrorist attacks involve this guy...
Janet only cares when a conservative might be involved. Especially if the person’s a vet...
When they wake up and finally do their jobs, investigative reporters can uncover all kinds of things.
He was “misguided”....
wow the authorities are doing a bang up job on the WOT. Maybe they should try NOT to find threats and then they might stumble bassackward into these guy.
This is getting curiouser and curiouser! By the day!!
No wonder the FBI burst in and ‘took over’ the investigation.
Does he work for Obama? (my personal favorite)
Hey....if that MSNBC chick can hope for an angry white Christian? Fair is fair. ;^)
Is Bill Ayres one of his professors?
Radical racists, anti-Americans, domestic/foreign terrorists, terrorist sympathizers and corrupt corporations. These are the people that Barack Obama counts as friends, as supporters, as mentors, as co-workers.
With a warped, slimy president with friends like these, who needs enemies? What favors does he owe these terrorists/friends??
Actually, what does the globalist elite owe to the terrorists?
