Investigator: 2 men detained in Pakistan admit helping Times Square bomber, are unrepentant
2010-05-22
Two men detained in Pakistan for alleged links to the attempted Times Square bombing have admitted playing a role in the botched attack and are unrepentant, with one angrily accusing interrogators of "siding with the infidels," a senior intelligence official said Saturday.

The pair are among six men officials say have been detained in Pakistan for alleged ties to Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-American arrested in the United States two days after the failed May 1 attack in New York. Like Shahzad, the detainees are all members of their country's urban elite, including several who were educated in the United States.

#5  So Faizal "Where are my car keys?" Shahzad acted alone. With these other six guys.

It sounds like he acted alone on this side of the pond. Back home he had a lot more help than the six arrested -- what about those who trained him? Didn't he spend the better part of half a year at at Tehreek-e-Taliban-Pakistan training camp, being taught how to make car bombs?

#1  Among those detained in Pakistan was Salman Ashraf Khan, the co-owner of the upscale Hanif Rajput Catering Service. Two other suspects "wanted him to help bomb a big gathering of foreigners" whose event his company was catering, the Pakistani intelligence officer said.
