New York Bomb Suspect Arrested

The suspect is identified as Faisal Shahzad.  Faisal is an naturalized American citizen who lives in Connecticut, is originally from Pakistan,  and who spent the last five months there.

Police and FBI agents said that they were looking for a second suspect, a man filmed on a tourist’s video camera running from the car shortly after it was parked in Times Square on Saturday. They also want to identify a white man, aged in his forties, who was videotaped on surveillance cameras removing a shirt and putting it in a backpack.

Faisal is believed to be the person who recently purchased the Pathfinder where the bomb was found.

Mr. Shahzad was arrested at a New York-area airport, apparently trying to flee, one of the people said. Charges against Mr. Shahzad, who had returned recently from a trip to Pakistan, were not announced.
