Faisal Shahzad (Urdu: فیصل شہزاد; born June 30, 1979) is a Muslim[7] Pakistani-American being held in police custody in New York City as the prime suspect in the May 1, 2010, Times Square car bomb attempt, to which he has reportedly confessed.

Shahzad was arrested approximately 53 hours after the attempt,[8] at 11:45 p.m. EDT on May 3, 2010, by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers.[9][10] He was taken into custody at John F. Kennedy International Airport, after boarding Emirates Flight 202 to Dubai.[2][11][12] His final destination had been Islamabad, Pakistan.

A federal complaint was filed on May 4, alleging that Shahzad committed five terrorism-related crimes, including the attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.[13] Shahzad waived his constitutional right to a speedy hearing.[2][14][3][9] If convicted, he faces up to life in prison.[2]

Shahzad has reportedly implicated himself in the crimes, and given information to authorities since his arrest, and since receiving Miranda warnings.[9][15] CBS News reported that Shahzad admitted training in bomb-making at a terrorist camp run by a militant Islamist faction in the Waziristan region of Pakistan.[3] As of May 7, Shahzad was continuing to answer questions and provide intelligence to investigators.[14] Over a dozen people were arrested by Pakistani officials in connection with the plot.

Background

Shahzad is a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Kashmir, Pakistan, in June 1979.[16] It is reported by the government of Pakistan that Shahzad is of Kashmiri descent.[5][6] Others suggest that he may be Pashtun.[17][18] The youngest of four children, his birthplace is reported by some sources as the village Mohib Banda (near Peshawar),[19] or Pabbi (a village in Nowshera District east of Peshawar).[20][21][22] Seemingly, he comes from a wealthy, well-educated family in northwest Pakistan.[2] Time opined that his family's background in the northwest meant that he likely spoke Pashto, a rare asset in the training camps compared to other Western volunteers.[23] Faiz Ahmed, a former mayor in Mohib Banda - Shahzad's reported ancestral home - and a close friend of his father, said in this regard in an interview with National Public Radio: "This is a tragedy for me and every Pakistani, every Pashtun."[24] His father, Baharul Haq, lives in a suburb of Peshawar and was a senior official in the Pakistan Air Force, holding the rank of Air Vice-Marshal (the equivalent of a two-star general) before leaving the air force in 1992,[2][25] and is a deputy director general of the Civil Aviation Authority of Pakistan.[26][27][28]

Shahzad attended primary school in Saudi Arabia, according to documents found outside his Shelton home, and then attended several schools in Pakistan.[1] He has an identification card indicating he is a resident of Karachi.[2] Kifayat Ali, a man who said he is a cousin of Shahzad's father, insisted that Shahzad's family had no political affiliations, adding that the arrest appeared as a "conspiracy so that the [Americans] can bomb more Pashtuns," and "He was never linked to any political or religious party [in Pakistan]."[29]

Shahzad studied for five semesters in 1997 and 1998 at the now-defunct Southeastern University in Washington, D.C., where he took mostly business classes, receiving several Cs and Ds, an F in basic statistics, and a grade point average of 2.78.[30] In December 1998 he was granted an F-1 student visa.[31] In 1999 he was placed on a US Customs (later merged into DHS) travel lookout list called the "Traveler Enforcement Compliance System."[32] In 2000 he transferred to the University of Bridgeport.[31] Shahzad's former teachers at the University of Bridgeport said he appeared to be quiet and unremarkable. He received a B.A. in computer science and engineering,[31] with his parents attending his graduation on May 13, 2002.[33] Just before graduation, in April 2002, he was granted an H1-B visa for skilled workers.[31] He remained in the U.S. for three years on that visa, earning an M.B.A at the University of Bridgeport in the summer of 2005.[31]

Shahzad worked as a junior financial analyst in the accounting department at the Elizabeth Arden cosmetics company in Stamford, Connecticut, while he was still working on his master's degree from January 2002 and until June 15, 2006, when he resigned to work elsewhere.[33]

In 2004, in an arranged marriage in Peshawar, Pakistan, he married Huma Asif Mian, a Colorado-born U.S. citizen who had just graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a degree in Accounting.[34][35][36][1] She and her Pakistani-born parents had lived in Qatar and Colorado; her parents now live in Saudi Arabia.[35] A neighbor recalled Shahzad visited the family only once before she joined him in Connecticut. On her social networking page, Shahzad's wife lists her languages as English, Pashto, Urdu, and French, her religion as Muslim and her political view as "nonpolitical."[29] Her father, Mohammad Asif Mian, is a petroleum engineering expert who has written a number of books and technical manuals, including a best-selling book on Project Economics and Decision Analysis, worked for companies such as Saudi Aramco and Qatar General Petroleum, and has two master's degrees from Colorado School of Mines.[34][37]

He bought a condominium in Norwalk, Connecticut, which he sold in May 2004 to computer consultant George LaMonica. LaMonica was interviewed afterward by investigators from the national Joint Terrorism Task Force, regarding details of the transactions and information about Shahzad.[38]

Shahzad was granted a permanent residence status (a "green card") in January 2006.[21] He bought a single-family three-bedroom home in Shelton, Connecticut, just outside Bridgeport in 2006, at which the family lived.[33][39] From mid-June 2006 to June 2009, Shahzad worked as a junior financial analyst,a position paying an estimated $55,000 to $80,000, for Affinion Group, an affinity marketing and consulting business[40] then located at 100 Connecticut Avenue, Norwalk, Connecticut.[33]

He was granted U.S. citizenship on April 17, 2009, due to his marriage to his wife.[36][2] A few weeks later, he abruptly quit his job and stopped making payments on his house, defaulting on the $218,400 mortgage.[33] He moved out around May 2009, with his wife following about a month later. Shahzad and his family moved to Pakistan.[39] He then defaulted on his $200,000 mortgage, and was sued by the bank in September 2009 as it foreclosed on his home.[41][21] A Shelton neighbor said that Shahzad and his wife had two young children, a girl and a boy.[39][failed verification]

Attempted bombing of Times Square

Main article: 2010 Times Square car bomb attempt

Reported preparations

On July 3, 2009, he reportedly traveled to Pakistan and is believed to have visited Peshawar, a gateway to the militant-occupied tribal regions of Pakistan and stayed there from July 7 to July 22.[42] While in Pakistan, he said he trained at a terrorist training camp in what was believed to be Waziristan, according to law enforcement officials.[43]

Shahzad's most recent stay in Pakistan lasted for five months; he returned to the U.S. on February 3, 2010, on an Emirates flight from Dubai.[2][11][42][44]

Shahzad was believed to have bought the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder which was used in the car bomb attempt within three weeks prior to the incident. The vehicle was purchased through an ad on Craigslist, for $1,300 which Shahzad reportedly paid a Connecticut woman for in $100 bills.[45] The money was paid and the car turned over at a Connecticut shopping center, without any formal paperwork being exchanged.[46][39]

Arrest and charges

Shahzad was arrested approximately 53 hours after the incident,[8] at 11:45 p.m. EDT on May 3, 2010, by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers[9][10] [47]). He was taken into custody at John F. Kennedy International Airport, as he sat on board Emirate Airlines Flight 202 to Dubai before the plane had moved from the gate.[2][11][39][12] His final destination was to have been Islamabad, Pakistan.[2]

Lapses in security allowed Shahzad to board the plane. He had been placed on the no-fly list on Monday, May 3 at 12:30 p.m. when investigators became more certain he was a suspect.[48] Investigators then lost track of Shahzad before he drove to the airport on the evening of May 3, and did not know he was planning to leave the country.[48] The Emirates airline did not check the no-fly list for added names at 6:30 p.m. when Shahzad made a reservation, or at 7:35 p.m. when he purchased the ticket at JFK airport with cash.[48] Shahzad was later allowed to board the plane. However, a routine post boarding check at 11:00 p.m. revealed that Shahzad was on the no-fly list.[48] Within minutes, agents boarded the plane which was still at the gate and arrested him. [48]

Shortly after the arrest, Attorney General Holder said "Based on what we know so far, it is clear that this was a terrorist plot aimed at murdering Americans in one of the busiest places in our country".[12] Holder later said that Shahzad had admitted involvement in the incident, and that Shahzad was providing useful information.[49][50]

According to Deputy FBI Director John Pistole, Shahzad was initially interrogated under the public safety exception to the Miranda rule, cooperated with authorities, and was later read his Miranda rights. He continued to cooperate and provide information after he was read the rights.[51]

The FBI and NYPD searched Shahzad's Bridgeport, Connecticut home on May 4, at Sheridan Street and Boston Avenue, removing filled plastic bags.[2] Materials related to the bomb were found in his apartment, including boxes that had contained the alarm clocks, and his car at the airport had a 9mm Kel-Tec SUB-2000 carbine with five full magazines of ammunition, according to law enforcement officials.[42][45]

The complaint filed in federal court on May 4, 2010[52] charges Shahzad with five counts of terrorism-related crimes: 1) Attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, 2) Attempting to kill and maim people in the U.S., 3) Using and carrying a destructive device, 4) Transporting an explosive device, and, 5) Attempting to damage building, vehicles, and other property.[2][3] If he is convicted on these charges, he faces up to life in prison.[2]

International ties and investigation

It was reported that Pakistani authorities arrested a number of suspects in the investigation of the attempted car bombing, including two or three people at a house where Shahzad is said to have stayed.[49] Pakistani intelligence officials said a man named Tauseef, who was a friend of Shahzad, was detained in Karachi in connection with the case.[12] Representative Jane Harman, a California Democrat, said Pakistani officials arrested “alleged facilitators” as part of a “far broader investigation.”[53].

According to the Wall Street Journal, Shahzad received bomb-making training from the Pakistani Taliban.[54] The Pakistani Taliban are made up of Pashtun tribesmen.[55] According to CBS News, Shahzad has been on the Department of Homeland Security travel lookout list since 1999 because he has been bringing in large amounts of cash (approximately $80,000) into the United States.[56]

United States Attorney General Eric Holder stated "the Pakistani Taliban was behind the attack. We know that they helped facilitate it. We know that they probably helped finance it and that he was working at their direction".[57]

Shahzad told interrogators that he was "inspired by" radical Anwar al-Awlaki to take up the cause of al-Qaeda.[58][59] Shahzad made contact over the internet with al-Awlaki, the Pakistani Taliban’s Baitullah Mehsud (who was killed in a drone strike in 2009), and a web of jihadists, ABC News reported.[60][61]
