Man Arrested in Times Square Bomb Plot
Hiroko Masuike for The New York Times A Connecticut woman said she sold the S.U.V. used in the failed bombing to a man she described as Middle Eastern or Hispanic. By WILLIAM K. RASHBAUM, MARK MAZZETTI and PETER BAKER May 3, 2010
Federal agents and police detectives Monday night arrested a Connecticut man, a naturalized United States citizen from Pakistan, in connection with the failed Times Square car bombing on Saturday night, two people briefed on the investigation said.
The man, whose name was not immediately released, was believed to be the one who recently bought the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder that was found loaded with gasoline, propane, fireworks and fertilizer in the heart of Times Square, the people said. Charges against the man, who had returned recently from a trip to Pakistan, were not announced.
The authorities began focusing on him after they tracked the vehicle to its previously registered owner in Bridgeport, Conn., who had advertised it for sale on several websites. He paid cash, and the sale was handled without any formal paperwork.
The former owner told investigators that the buyer was of Middle Eastern or Hispanic descent, but could not recall his name. It was unclear how agents from the Joint Terrorist Task Force identified him. Federal authorities Monday night provided few details about the arrest, the suspect, or the scope of any conspiracy in the failed attack.

When did he get his immigration visa? Who investigated him? When did he get naturalized?
It really pisses me off when we find out these terrorists were allowed to come here legally.
Mayor Bloomberg owes each and everyone of us a Quarter.
CBS Features NY Mayor Bloomberg Speculating Bomber Was Mad About ObamaCare

No, he will say the Paki acted stupidly in having his device fizzle.
ACLU lawyers are probably lining up right now to represent him.
He’ll be treated with kid gloves, no doubt, since he’s a “citizen”.
The bald guy was up to something, but probably not connected to the car bomb. More likely a pickpocket fresh off of lifting some tourist’s wallet.
I'd say "Rot in Hell, Ted" but I am as a Catholic *required* to pray for my enemies.
It's my only hope if I want to be forgiven.
The kid seems normal enough (if I got the right FaceBook); the bad guys sure must have done a job on his head.
“Is this the “white male”?”
Don’t know about that, but allegedly it is the man who bought the car.
He is a naturalized citizen of Pakistani origin, or so they have said.
I expect they’ll have a news conference at least by the morning if not sooner.
we are watching craig ferguson and they have a crawl running but they haven’t interrupted the show.
Hear! Hear! As a lapsed Catholic however, I am free to condemn Teddy until the cows come home.
the amazing thing is Bloomberg could give every American a quarter and not even flinch
Thanks for posting. BTTT!
this is , the 2nd terrorist attack on US soil since OBama came into office, in which the authorities failed to stop until after the event. Too busy investingating tea parties members?
“If I had to guess — 25 cents — this would be exactly that, somebody-
COURIC TO BLOOMBERG: A home-grown?
BLOOMBERG: Home-grown, maybe a mentally deranged person or somebody with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”
Bloomberg is going to regret that statement until the day he dies. He is a fool and a tool of the liberals in New York.
Good thing we don’t have any Mooselips in the Tea Party, although he may be a teabagger? How will the WH media report this tomorrow, will they be wearing black?
Pray for America

After all, since the Drilling Platform accident, Obama decreed that there would be no more Off Shore Drilling.
You mean like this?
Interrogator: Now we're DONE playing around. Answer the question!
Faisal: (spits) You will get nothing out of me, vile infidel!
Interrogator: We have here some women's underwear, which we are going to put on your head.
Faisal: I care not, I will be going to Allah soon anyway!
Interrogator: Ah, but I haven't explained. Which underwear you get, depends on your answer.
If you cooperate, it will be Heidi Klum's underwear.
Faisal: I tell you NOTHING!
Interrogator: But if we feel you are not cooperating, the underwear will come from...(cue ominous music)
HELEN THOMAS!!!
Faisal: (Sings like a canary.)
Cheers!
Hell, with a threat like that you could get him to sing "God Bless America" better than big old Kate Smith ever did.
(Stole that from an old joke.)
