Americans will not be terrorized: Obama
[Iran Press TV Latest] US President Barack Obama says US citizens will not be terrorized by incidents like the attempted attack on Times Square, vowing "to do everything in our power" to protect the nation. "We know the aim of those who try to carry out these attacks is to force us to live in fear," Obama said during an address at the Business Council in Washington D.C. on Tuesday. "And thereby amplifying the effect of their attacks, even those that fail. But as Americans, and as a nation, we will not be terrorized. We will not cower in fear," he added. The US president said the suspect in the case, Faisal Shahzad, is currently under interrogation and that "justice will be done" in the case. Obama described the incident as "another sobering reminder of the times in which we live." Shahzad was arrested late on Monday as he was preparing to board a plane at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, US Attorney General Eric Holder announced early on Tuesday. Shahzad, who is of Pakistani origin, has been accused of driving a vehicle with explosives, gasoline, propane, and burned wires into Times Square. Posted by: Fred 2010-05-05 |
