What a surprise

In what must rank as one of the most obvious things to happen for a while, The BBC have to report that:

'A man suspected of attempting to detonate a car bomb in New York City has been arrested.

Faisal Shahzad, a US citizen of Pakistani origin, is accused of driving the car bomb into Times Square on Saturday evening.

...

US Attorney General Eric Holder said Mr Shahzad was arrested at John F Kennedy Airport attempting to board a flight to Dubai.

A senior Pakistani security source in the Pakistani capital Islamabad told the BBC that the authorities had no knowledge of Mr Shahzad.

He also dismissed statements released by the Pakistani Taliban saying that they were behind the failed attack and promising more to come.

Reports from the US say Mr Shahzad recently returned from a five-month visit to Pakistan.'

Odd that the BBC and others were reporting the 'middle aged white man' lead so hopefully when the first arrest of someone of a more Islamic profile.
