Pakistani-American Eyed In Times Square Bomb Plot

Latest News Updates U.S. federal authorities have identified a person of interest in Saturday night's Times Square bomb attempt, a naturalized American citizen who was in Pakistan for several months and returned to the United States recently, investigative sources told according to an American news agency.

The latest developments seem to support investigators' suspicions that there was a foreign connection behind the failed car bomb attempt in New York City, senior Obama administration officials told, shedding light on the growing body of evidence.

Sources say that evidence includes international phone calls made by the person of interest, who has not been identified publicly. The person is identified as a man of Pakistani descent, citing unnamed law enforcement sources.

Police also have interviewed the registered owner of the bomb-laden sports-utility vehicle. He said that he is not a suspect, but he recently sold the dark-colored 1993 Nissan Pathfinder on Craigslist to another individual, whom the reports was the Pakistani-American.
