The suspect in a failed attempted to detonate a car bomb in Times Square has implicated himself and is cooperating with authorities in an investigation that is spreading overseas as investigators look for links to the plot in the would-be bomber’s native Pakistan, U.S. officials said Tuesday.
Faisal Shahzad, a 30-year-old immigrant from Pakistan who became a naturalized U.S. citizen last year, was arrested late Monday at John F. Kennedy International Airport while attempting to flee the countryAttorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said.
Wait, wait, wait…it was all over the news yesterday. We were all told to be on the lookout for a “white” male in his mid 40s and that he was most likely some crazy person or a person unhappy about Obamacare (Mayor Bloomberg, no less).
So today we learn the confessed person was a…wait for it…adherent of the “religion of peace” and a naturalized citizen (immigrant) from…wait for it again…Pakistan.
They caught him ON BOARD an aircraft about to take off for Dubai (which has no extradition treaty with us), despite the fact that he was on the NO FLY LIST!!!
The bomb he planted IN TIMES SQUARE wasn’t found by crack police detective work or Homeland Security or even the NSA’s wiretaps under the infamous Patriot Act (Hey, wasn’t that supposed to go away when Obama got elected?). No, the bomb was discovered in the nick of time by a T-SHIRT VENDOR!!!
Gosh, I just feel all warm and fuzzy inside, knowing that the administration did such a great job. What a relief to know that the “suspect” was read his rights.
