Times Square Bomb: Pakistani Man Arrested Trying To Flee Country
There has been an interesting development in the Times Square bombing case: a 30-year-old Pakistani Émigré was arrested last night at JFK airport. FBI agents said the man was attempting to flee the country to go to Dubai.
Federal authorities had already identified Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized American citizen who lived in Connecticut. Shahzad had just returned from a 5-month “terrorist training camp” in Pakistan, where we presume he was taught to build the crude bomb that was found packed into a smoking SUV in Times Square on Saturday.
The bomb failed to ignite and a passing vendor saw the smoke and alerted a cop. But experts say had the bomb exploded, it had the potential to kill hundreds and destroy property for several blocks.
Here’s the interesting part: Shahzad will not be considered a Muslim extremist because remember the White House has already said Muslim extremists do not exist.
The Taliban was quick to claim responsibility for the attempted bombing — and the White House was just as quick to call them liars.
Now the White House is backing off of their previous denials, because, well, they have to in the face of mounting evidence that even the lap dog media can not ignore.
Your president Barack Obama lived in Pakistan for a time back in the 80s. So he has a soft spot in his heart for Pakistani terrorists. He wants to pass an immigration bill that will make it that much easier for the terrorists to get over here and bring their crude home made bombs with them.
So expect the White House to tap dance around the fact that this guy is a home grown terrorist and that terrorism has now become a part of our every day lives. No longer will we be able to enjoy sporting events or tourist attractions in relative safety.
Now we not only have to worry about the random muggers, thieves and carjackers in our streets, but we also have to worry about the occasional suicide bomber who probably got a free pass from the Obama administration to come over here.
Obama is already up in arms about ILLEGAL immigrants being harassed in Arizona.
After saying they doubted the bombing had “international links” (we still haven’t heard the word “terrorism” yet in connection with this case), the White House now agrees that the bomber had “international links.” Why not just call a spade a spade — or a terrorist a terrorist?
On Monday, authorities in Bridgeport, Connecticut came thisclose to admitting a terrorist cell is operating within their midst. A Connecticut man said an “Arabic” looking guy bought a Nissan Pathfinder from him last month for a few hundred dollars. There was no paperwork recording the sale.
That Pathfinder was recovered in Times Square packed with fertilizer, propane tanks and gasoline tanks with enough punch to raze a small village.
Then early Sunday morning, persons unknown in Connecticut uploaded a video to Internet showing the Taliban bragging about the attack. The website was registered one day before the attempted bombing in Times Square.
Repeat after me kids: Barack Obama says Muslim extremists do not exist.

I’m with you Lex don’t like the white either. Too easy for nosy people at work to see through my hideascreneprotectorthingy!
on the subject I say put him in one of those human size boxes EOD use and blow his azz up!
@lexdiamonz, I was going to ask the same thing about the “no paperwork” thing. The man that sold the car gets a **sideeye** as well. If the Pakistan man was a black man instead I’m sure they would have walked us down to the DMV with paperwork in hand. SMH!!
The government kills me some time…A group in Pakistan took responsibility for this bombing attempt, and yet the government made a comment saying there was no evidence that they were responsible for it… well hello idiots!!!
umm… sorry but i’m quite skeptical about the timing of this WHOLE thing. From how the car was miraculously found on time, to the police arresting the man as he boarded the plane… reads like another episode of 24. I wonder who’s playing Jack Bauer.
Based on what I have gleaned from this story, I think there’s alot of reaching going on.
First of all if he was indeed radicalized by the same terror groups as past “terrorists” how come he wasn’t killing himself in the blowup? Isn’t their modus operandi suicide attacks? Why the sudden detour?
Second of all, how come his azs waited all of Saturday and Sunday and wait until Monday to leave the scene of his alleged crime? Does that make sense, if you’re trying to get away, wouldn’t you do it immediately after the crime?… I’m not a criminal, but that’s how it happens in the movies n’est pas?
Why not just call a spade a spade — or a terrorist a terrorist?
Good question!!! Why does the white man who flew his plane into an IRS office in Texas only get called disturbed? What he did terrorized me.
@ LadyLew
I need one of those hideacreenprotectthingy’s
I anticpate that something major will happen in the near future. I am scared and concerned for us as a country. I listened to a student on the phone this morning. Appearently his brother-n-law shares the same surname as the suspect. In addition he is an Air Tran pilote and has just retunred from Pakastain. The student is heard joking saying you know they are going to flag you…he laughs and then says…just be prepared and have your citizenship papers on you….. I don’t know it reminded me just how vulnerable we really are. We are so easily distracted as a country….but we are really quite vulerable to entities that want to cause us harm

Sandra please update your blog post title to read PAKISTANI-AMERICAN MAN… thanks
@Flo, Sandra made a comment about it above, I didn’t see it until after I commented.
“Your president Barack Obama lived in Pakistan for a time back in the 80s. So he has a soft spot in his heart for Pakistani terrorists. He wants to pass an immigration bill that will make it that much easier for the terrorists to get over here and bring their crude home made bombs with them.”….
Yet…it was YOUR Presidents…Bush/Bush/Reagan…that let his family come over here YEARS ago…and it was YOUR PRESIDENTS…that didn’t handle the business in the Middle East YEARS ago…that has RESULTED in this tomfoolery…
Its it funny how MY PRESIDENTS…Clinton/Obama were able to QUICKLY catch terrorist that terrorized on domestic soil…(i.e., McVeigh…firts guy who tried to blow up WTC)…yet YOUR President, Bush, Jr. had Bin Laden’s address and STILL was unable to find him (yet flew Bin Laden’s family and friends out of the country on OUR tax dollar)…
CHILE…PLEASE!!!
I don’t mean to be funny or cynical or even sarcastic…
But when do we get some entertainment gossip?!?!
Which…is…why…I…come…here…in…the…first….place…
I’m just sayin….
I’m so confused about this new layout… I knew where all the links were and now they’ve moved.
Sandra, Obama did not live in Pakistan. Please stop the lies.
His mother worked as a consultant there, when his grandparents had custody of him.
Besides Pakistan wasn’t and still isn’t a country that sponsors terrorism.

@ Flo. LMA0
@ggouch, now that’s scary. I know the terrorists aren’t thru with us yet. I’m sure this is only the beginning.
KaraZ Says: Good question!!! Why does the white man who flew his plane into an IRS office in Texas only get called disturbed? What he did terrorized me.
I haven't heard anything else about that or the victims. Is that being swept under the rug as well?
Hell, he terrorized me too
@msKay how do you change your text font??
I always said when “they” wanted to BLOW us up again they will no matter who the President is sad but true IMO. God still sits high and looks low
@Daisy, hey, there is a different box to put your comments in on my end. Maybe you have to refresh your screen but I see "Styles, Font, Size etc"

***********************************
Exactly! I feel like they are playing on people fear of terrorism to push an agenda.
And further more all this illegal talk plays right into the immigration bill that just passed in AZ.
Oh snap, New toy
@Al-Ameera, sounds like they're trying to force immigration reform back onto the table. I'm not falling for it.
I think terrorists are determined, and if they wanted it to succeed, it would. They're usually not this sloppy and rarely leave witnesses behind. Sorry if I'm not falling for this isht as it's currently presented. Sounds like the bomb was created to be found and the suspects are being rounded up too quickly by an otherwise incompetent task force.
Hey Family…..
This sitch is a HOT MESS!
Sidebar: I am so diggin the new layout Auntie!
Nice Site Sandra – looks good.
I don't know what to say about this except all that nonsense Sandra just flooded the internet with should cease….
Okay this is really funny the other day I was thinking to myself I wish her site would get fixed so my gravi can show up – HA! Ask and shall receive….
THERE WENT MY RETNAS KARA
Damn Sandra, noone in ATL had any parties, slept with any celebs, or took any pics that you want to post? I'm sure there is other entertainment news out there. I'm ready
so do you have to set your font and everything everytime…if so, I don't think I can do all of that…and why does it say this This visual editor brought to you by fckeditor for wordpress plugin
@ 'fckeditor'
at the bottom?
I
with KaraZ. I'm not buying the governemnt's b.s. with this one. 
Can we get another
?
@MKM, she was talking about having some Usher pics with some other old broad this weekend. I want to see that.
*goign to browse for John Dumelo pics*
@Mstruth,
I saw that too!
i think they may have arrested someone to make it seem like the problem has been solved.. when pressure is on … the powers that be will make it seem like results have been made
@KaraZ Really?? I can't wait either!
Usher is a man whore. C'mon Sandra!
another thing…what's up with this 'soft porn' ad that's on here? Sandra I know you like em lslh, put goodness! spare us!!!!!!!!!
Sandra, I am surprised you are falling for this so hook, line and sinker being that you “don't drink the kool-aide”. People really need to do the knowledge and stop being so gullible. I mean really. Start questioning stuff and doing your own research. Stop believing EVERYTHING you hear from the media. Geez
hmmm i heard that usher's new manager is the lady he is curently seeing…IF this is true usher has a serious momma complex…
Good Morning Everyone.
Scary s.hi.t. And I will be surrounded by the MF's in a few months. I can't wait.
@MsKaylamomma, Sheila Johnson is getting a "SATDOWN HEFFA" from me. BET started to deteriorate under her watch, so she needs to STFU. She started letting the garbage in to make money, now she's complaining about whats there, wen she left the gate open.
@ MKM…I sooooo agree. I can't even watch it anymore. I do like their Centric channel though. I can watch that.
@Karaz….I thought the same thing!
Ms.kaylamomma says:
May 4, 2010 at 10:57 am
Anyone else cosign with BET Co-founder Sheila Johnson saying she is ashamed of what BET has become?? I do! I remember shows like Teen Summit, Tigger in the Basement etc. Now its just effin garbage.
____________________________________________________________________
Heyyy MKM. Yes I do agree with Sheila Johnson. BET is pure garbage now. And it kills me how they have nuthing but a** shaking on all day, but have the church services at 4 am during the week, and on Sunday mornings.
My apologies for the slow posts. I am still working on the blog to fix minor issues with the formatting and the gallery. The comment numbers will be added to the comments soon. And I will look into adding the smilies below this box as long as you guys don't abuse them.
Thank GOD that the bomb didn’t go off!
Sandra, are you able to get new emoticons?
Sandra, can we get the styles, font and size to stay so we don't have to change it every time?
I'm also going to move the comment dates under the comment instead of under your names.
Sandra, before you go back with tinkering, can you post those Usher pics already. thanks and Godspeed
ms.truth says:

**********************************************************
No, sorry.
But there has to be a balance on BET imo. We had uplifting shows like Teen Summit. There is nothing on BET now that is 'uplifting' although they will throw in a few shows like "My Black is Beautiful" . But that damn Neffe and Frankie took us back about 400 years. Hey Mirsmommy!!!
KaraZ says:

********************************************************
What Usher pics?
Yes, MKM! BET back in the day was so uplifting. I remember Teen Summit, Video Soul w/Donnie Simpson, LIve in L.A. w/Tonya Hart, Our Voices, BET News, etc. It was so uplifting then.
I love the new digs Sandy
If someone would be kind enough to clue me in on this Obama cheating shyt??
I'm behind on everything since I couldn't access your site yesterday, whats up fam
what have I missed??
**playing Devil's advocate** I will be glad when they bring The Game back. I hope it is with the orginal cast as well.
@ Krysi, hey chica! For some reason, I don't believe that Obama cheated. BUT if it is true why is it just coming out now?
@SandraRose *SIDE EYE* I just retweeted.
@MKM, the sad thing is people tune into the Neffe and Frankie's (I'm not trying to criticize if that's what people like). BET knows that the "uplifting" shows probably will not bring in the ratings like the foolishness they air now. That's my take on it. All they have to do is throw yet another "reality" show and they got us.
@Sandra, is it possible to put in a spell checker?
Ahahah! **high fives** KrazyZKat! I love waking up to Teen Summit on Saturdays. Couldn't wait to finish my chores to watch. I wish they would bring back Free and AJ. I just feel some kinda way about Rocsi and TJ interviewing veterans like MaryJ and Sade when they were probably babies growing up when these icons came out.
Just my opinion
O ok MKM, for a minute I thought that was news. I'll wait until the next post to catch up to yall.
Lord I remember when Donnie SImpson interviewd Levert for the 1st time on BET! I was a kid but damit i knew I loved Gerald then!
@MKM, I loved Teen Summit too, even though I wasn't even a teen at the time, but I watched b/c I wanted to hear what was on their minds. It was a wonderful show! Once I was flipping through the channel and tuned into Rocsi and TJ, and my ears started ringing. I couldn't listen to them five minutes. I know exactly what you mean. and I cosign 100. Bring back the grown folks!
@Brown, mmmh-hmmm
Donnie was the man! I was in love with his green eyes. I miss Gerald 
and Luffer V

Sandra I love the whole writing format of how we can change the color and stuff…
You go girl I think your the only blog(what I go on) that has this format…. 
Heeeyyyy fam…..
Ummmm I agree with who ever said we are sooo vulnerable. 9-11 occured and we went right back to our regular lives shortly after. Its just a matter of time before it happeneds again. Not if but when and where. It took them years to plan the WTC attacks……that was almost 10 years ago.
About the topic I thought he was just a man they were looking for just to question him..and then bam he is the suspect….
At least they caught him…
i thought i heard them say that they were looking for a middle-aged white guy? hope they got the right guy nonetheless
i miss the black:( this looks like the others
yay it still works
*happens* sorry.
I am
I can’t access the format to change the colors and shyt.
HEY CINNNNAMONNN
Am I the only one having a problem changing my color…I change it and it doesn't show up (If it shows up this time forget what I said)
ok i dont like these d@mn fonts!
This is suppose to be in red if it doesn't show up I give up…. : shrugs:
Sandra, can I please get some assistance posting my gravi
My color is not showing up
Joe Budden dissed the hell outta that smut Kat Stacks on Twitter!!!!
Am I the only one having a problem changing my color…
**************************************************************
Do you highlight your words before clicking the color you want? Like this? I'm having problems with this editor plugin also. It's stripping my html out of my post so I can't even post pictures. The wordpress editor is garbage. I HATE this new WordPress editor upgrade. It is so frustrating, and wordpress ignores all complaints about their wack editor!! I wish I could go back to the old version.
Hey Cinn!!! Hey Missy!!!! Regarding your font color, what are you clicking on?
Never mind, Sandra answered your questions, I think!
WOW!!!!!!!
oh dam my eyes starting to hurt from all the new changes!
I dont like it very much. Just takes some getting used to, I guess.
*pouts*
Some juicy gossip could cheer me right on up though…Hey e'rybody. *waves*
OTB I got some juicy………………….um gossip for you
I like the font and color scheme!!! This is PURDEY.
Hey Sandra, for SH*TS and Giggles, can we get a random post about the NBA Basketball Wives, so we can have the appropriate plateform to "Go- in" on them accordingly…
Specifically how Shaune got all them all together to make asses out of themselves and perpetuate the Gold-Digger sterotype, why she sits back and narrates their ass-hole-ishness. I mean….just for the hell of it…can we?
"Your president Barack Obama lived in Pakistan for a time back in the 80s. So he has a soft spot in his heart for Pakistani terrorists."
____________________________________________________________________________
ROFLMAO! I guess that means he isn't the reason why we are targeted in the first place.
#spillit Brown!
I highlighted it and everything and it wouldn't show up…. ugh
Let me try again….
I will highlight this… (this is suppose to be red)
Thanks for y'all help but I quit……
Hey ms.Kaylamomma…
I am feeling really ignored here sandra….can I get GRAVI assistance.
OTB i was bout to be nasty so I'll just keep my mouth shut!
This is my first post since the new layout. I miss the old one
I wish the crazies would leave NYC alone, I love that place! The good thing is that it was stopped before anything bad happened!
@MIssy, before you start typing, click on the box with the orange "A" first, choose your color and then start typing. See what happens…
Hey OTB!! spill the tea Brown
Hey SR fam! I went thru a lurker phase but I’m trying to come out of it.
Sandra, you’re reaching with this stuff as usual, but hey guess we gotta take the good with the bad when it comes to this blog.
BTW: to the poster yesterday who said “find a cliff & walk off the edge” that was the funniest ish I’ve read in a while, so thanks! Lol
Heeyyyyy Browwwwwn
Heyyyyy mskay
Dont temp her @MKM. *waves*
Brown was bout to go there.
MKM i just saw juicy and was being dirty so i really had no gossip just dirty thoughts!

@ Ms.kaylamomma

@Brown I usually love whatever youre thinking LOL I'm a lil' womanish muh'self… I was sick at the new comments area/situation.
Nooooooooooooooo not you too Sandra why you change the format….I liked when we had to scroll down to look at the comments.…..
I'm logging off for the day….I think I should come back when the site is done…. or when I can get my color to work…. I don't think it is good to be on here during the adjustments I'll come back later…….
@ Missy. I love your Gravi.
I'm just glad that I was able to change my Gravi, but I agree with you OTB, the comments/newer/older/situation is weird.. But @Sandra can we get some baby mamma drama up in here, please and Thank You Mam
Ayntee….me no likey having older and newer comments.
What did joe budden say about kat stacks???
Annnnnnd I tried to change my gravi…….dayumit….im bout to give up just like missy. Phuck it…..just phuck it.
Ms.kaylamomma says:
@ KaraZ. The bigger question here is: Who the fluck is KatStacks?
—————————————————————————————————————-
Precisely! So what we have here is one non-entity talking about another non-entity. So nobody should give a flying rat's turd about either of them birds.
@mskay I am on my crackberry so I can’t see the new buttons for font/text will try when I get home
Sandra here's a post. You called it about Beyonce the other day. She straight stole from Kelly. Poor Tenetria, can't have any shine for more than a nanosecond without creonyce coming to send you back to the cotton fields.
whats she in jail for?
@Brownsugar, where can I find that story
*testing*
Time for a new post ma. Give us something good…
LOL@ whomever said NYC was safe again. Was it ever, to begin with? I say let the forigners come as they may. It's ( US) all over-rated.
Kara just google “mother of 15″
Brown, that is crazy. But she should be locked up – her and her hole! 15 kids? DIZAMNNNN!
There were some twins here that were abandoned at a firestation just recently. It’s a heartbreaking but sweet story. The babies are well and good.
@RTB, again, even in NYC you’re more likely to die in a car accident or a victim of a random violent crime than from a terrorist attack.
Hi everybody. Im not feeling the new layout but I guess it will grow on me. BTW, can we get a new post?
I found it, but why was she arrested? Is it illegal to have 15 kids? Is it illegal to be rude and and ingrate? What law did she break? Why are they all up in her uterus? it’s her damn uterus
“Garry Nesha, Garry Brown Jr., Garry Lethia, Garryiell and Garry Rick.”
<— some of her childrens names.
She has 10 from ( I'm just going to call him "Big Gary") and the other 5 are from 2 men.
Clearly her ass is crazy. She said she wanted them outta her life then changed her tune.
I like Kat Stacks. She’s hilarious to me! She just keepin real. You gotta respect that.
Hi Cinderella, @Sandra how come I don’t have the table anymore to change my fonts/colors????? Where did it go??
@ Sandra… NICE UPGRADE!!!!!!!!!
Now it's back…. Ok this is too weird…
