Pakistani media are reporting that Shahzad is from Karachi and spent significant time in Peshawar, the capital of North-West Frontier Province, where the government is waging a fierce war against Taliban militants.
A Pakistani government source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told TIME on Tuesday that the suspect had ties with militants while in Pakistan. “He was here at a training camp,” the source said. The source also claimed that members of Shahzad’s family were arrested in Karachi on Tuesday morning.
