U.S. law enforcement officials say there is growing evidence the Times Square bomber had ties to radical elements overseas and did not act alone.
One senior official said the individuals involved "are living here and did not come from overseas to carry out the bombing."
Attorney General Eric Holder said today the investigators had made "substantial progress" in tracking the man who drove a Nissan Pathfinder into New York's Times Square with a crude bomb that failed to detonate.
Officials declined to provide the specifics that led them to believe there were overseas links to a larger plot.

"This is moving very fast because they left behind a treasure trove of evidence in the unexploded car," one US official told ABC News.
Officials told ABC News Senior Justice correspondent Pierre Thomas that the Connecticut owner of the vehicle told them he had sold the Nissan SUV last month in an unrecorded sale to an "Arabic or Latino looking man" in his 20's or 30's, for a few hundred dollars in cash.
The license plate on the car was apparently stolen from an auto repair shop outside Bridgeport, Connecticut, according to law enforcement officials.
The authorities told ABC News that the previous owner provided a description of the man who bought the car, and told investigators the vehicle was sold for several hundred dollars in cash, with no written records identifying the purchaser.

Oh No! The Socialist media would be so disappointed if true. They have been planning 24/7 coverage if it was a mad White guy.
German Lutherans?
I still think that there is (probably) unrelated Cash for Clunkers scam going on here.
Is it even legal to not record the sale of titled property?
Arabic or Latino looking man.

Can't be an Arab or (0bama forbid) Latino because that would be profiling. Let's see. Some of those Russians get pretty dark. Yeah, that's the ticket. The Russians.
Like Zer0 and Hamas and the PA?
There’s a title transfer even when I donate old vehicles to St Vincent DePaul Society.
Some people buy two wrecked vehicles from insurance totaled out wrecks and rebuild one vehicle from the two carcasses...........
Link to overseas?? Could it have been the “I Love Osama” button on his right lapel and the “I Love Obama” on the left???
But...but...it was a crudely fashioned device! MSNBC told us so! Only ignorant right-wingers from the backwoods would be so incompetent. Real terrorists would never be that stupid.

I’m surprised they didn’t say a possibility of alaskan eskimo linked to the Palin govenor campaign.
Could be a string of them. String 'em all up.
In Florida, it is up to the BUYER to take the title in to the tax collector and have it registered, but there is no time limit............
The Transportation Department should go after Nissan for manufacturing defective exploding SUV’s... /s
"radical elements"? Is that anything like a "Christian militia"? A term that was used in headlines across the land?
