The United States is talking to Pakistan about the investigation.
The suspect was born in a tiny northwestern village to an upper-middle class family. His father was a high-level air force officer in the Pakistani military.
The bomb in the sport utility vehicle included propane tanks, gasoline and fireworks. Jim Cavanaugh is a bomb expert who worked for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
JIM CAVANAUGH: "Well, when you see the device, what comes to mind immediately is that you have a whole lot of desire but not a whole lot of technical ability."
Faisal Shahzad was quickly identified and arrested fifty-three hours after the attempt in Times Square. His quick identification as a suspect took investigative work that even Jack Bauer on TV's "24" might have been proud of. But like many cases, luck also seemed to play a part.
As officials describe it, they lost him for a time. He fled to New York's Kennedy Airport and bought a ticket to Dubai. He was on his way to Pakistan. He was arrested as the plane was about to leave the gate.
Later, once the plane left the gate, it was ordered to return for further investigation.
AIR CONTROLLER: "Emirates 202, [unclear] actually I have a message for you to go back to the gate immediately.”
Officials had added Faisal Shahzad to a no-fly list hours earlier. Now, airlines will have to check the no-fly list within two hours of being told of additions, instead of twenty-four hours.
