Times Square in lockdown after car bomb threat

[billt]

Today the media is reporting the former neighbors of the bomb suspect described him as "A family man who said he worked on Wall Street." Why is it these are all swell guys before they pull off their "mission"? They said the same about Mohammad Atta and his lunatic bunch. These guys should be given posthumous Academy Awards because in real life when was the last time you ever saw an Arab laugh or smile? Just once I'd like to hear a former neighbor say, "I knew that guy was a no good POS!!"  Bill T.

just like all the gang bangers are "good kids."


I doubt any of his neighbors knew more then his name, if that.

Remember Bill, this is the same city where a man bled to death after helping a woman from getting mugged.  The "citizens" of NYC did everything they could to step around, over and completely avoid this man while he bled out on the sidewalk.

These neighbors probably didn't even know his name...NYC is a shithole, pure and simple.  Sell it back to the Indians we stole it from...

Notice how Bloomberg right away started defending the "good muslims"?   Bill T.

HE United States says it has evidence that the Taliban was behind the failed attempt to detonate a car bomb in the heart of New York.

THE United States says it has evidence that the Taliban was behind the failed attempt to detonate a car bomb in the heart of New Yorky.

"We've now developed evidence that shows that the Pakistani Taliban was behind the attack,"  US Attorney General Eric Holder told current affairs talk show This Week.

"We know that they helped facilitate it. We know that they probably helped finance it, and that he was working at their direction," he said, referring to Faisal Shahzad, the prime suspect in the attempted bombing.

Mr Shahzad, a Pakistani-born American, was pulled off a plane to Dubai and arrested on Monday for allegedly leaving a sport utility vehicle rigged to explode in New York's Times Square just over a week ago.
Mr Holder's comments came as the New York Times reported that American military chiefs have told Pakistan's Government it must crack down on Islamic extremists or face severe consequences.

General Stanley McChrystal, the US commander in Afghanistan, urged Pakistan's General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani in Islamabad on Friday to quickly begin a military offensive against the Pakistani Taliban and al-Qaeda in North Waziristan.

John Brennan, the White House deputy national security adviser, echoed Holder's charges, pointing the finger at the Pakistani Taliban in an interview with CNN.

"It looks like he was working on behalf of the TTP, the Pakistani Taliban," Brennan said. "This group is closely allied with al-Qaeda. This is something that we're taking very seriously."
