Arrest in Times Square Bomb Attempt

From NYPost:
Police have arrested a Connecticut man in connection with the attempted car bombing of a busy Times Square street Saturday night, NBC is reporting. Shahzad Faisal, of Connecticut, was arrested within on Long Island within the last hour.

Earlier today, federal authorities said they dentified a naturalized American citizen who recently returned from Pakistan as a "person of interest" in the attempted carbombing on Broadway Saturday night. (sic all)
Sources say Faisal bought the SUV involved. I'll boldly suggest that Faisal is a follower of the religion of peace.

[Add.] According to this report, 30-year-old Faisal goes by last name Shahzad as opposed to what was originally cited. He's reportedly married with two children and speaks little English. Investigators were able to track him down through the Nissan Pathfinder sale.

Also, he was arrested by they FBI as he was about to board a flight to Dubai.
