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.

I find that strange also. Who would let a car registered in their name be driven off by a stranger? Weird. This is a perfect example, FBI knocking on your door. Like I said weird.
NY Daily News:
This “person of interest” bought the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder that was abandoned with the engine running - and with primitive, but potentially deadly payload in the rear - just two weeks ago, law enforcement and police sources told The Daily News.
Investigators aren’t certain whether he is the same man who drove the rolling bomb to the Crossroads of the World, but he has not been seen by his girlfriend - and has not shown up at his home or job - since the frightening incident on Saturday night.
Are you a white male?
If not, don't worry about it.
Yep, those darn Amish again. Obviously paid cash so his brethern wouldn’t know he bought a car instead of a new horse and carriage.
BFLR
It’s not going away....yet...
The WaPo is reporting that the FBI anti-terror unit is now officially on the case......
Yup, a small test. This was a joke, right? Insult?

Only if the "treasure trove of evidence in the unexploded car" included a hymnal, a casserole for that night's potlock, and a 5-gallon coffee maker.

DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it’s terrorism!!! This was a no brain-er!!
I think he wanted to start a fire that would then just blow up the propane tanks.
I'm sure they wont start asking for citizenship papers in NY over this. That would be so racist. Bloomberg would rather see the Empire state building collapse than ask for papers.
Federal authorities are closing in on the man they say is a person of interest in the Times Square car bomb attempt this weekend, who is described as a naturalized American citizen who hails from Pakistan and just returned after spending five months there. Police release video of possible suspect seen near site of failed attack.There is growing evidence the bomber did not act alone and had ties to radical elements overseas, with one senior official telling ABC News there are several individuals believed to be connected with the bombing and that at least one of them is a Pakistani-American.
Authorities Have Identified Person of Interest in Times Square Bomb Attempt
Even without a title, a bill of sale is a good idea just to protect you from the county coming looking for a tag fee. But in the case of the county, all that's needed is an affidavit that you've sold the car. It's the buyer's responsibility to title the vehicle, not the seller's.
And if the car was sold at some earlier without a title, the owner may have only been able to GET a "scrap/salvage" title without a bill of sale or a title signed over to him. Do you know at what point in the chain the salvage title appeared?
I don't think this is necessarily some sort of scam. Naturally the perpetrator of a bombing would want a vehicle WITHOUT a paper trail, and he certainly wouldn't register it.
Like the '93 WTC bombing terrorist who rented the van using his real name and real credit card?
But less than 12 hours after the attempted attack, United States Senator Chuck Schumer was on my TV speculating that this was a “LONE WOLF” (code for EVIL WHITE MAN) and that it was highly unlikely to be connected to any foreign terrorist organizations. What do you have to say for yourself now, Chucky? Pathetic!
John Doe #3 is back...
But, what about the White guy upset about Healthcare?
SeeBS and Bloomberg told us so!
