Times Square bomb suspect in court

Source PA News

Updated on 18 May 2010

A Pakistani-American man accused of driving a home-made car bomb into New York's Times Square has appeared in court for the first time since his arrest two weeks ago.

Faisal Shahzad was arrested on May 3 on a Dubai-bound plane at John F Kennedy International Airport on charges that he drove an SUV rigged with a bomb into Times Square two nights earlier, sending thousands of tourists into a panic on a busy Saturday night. The bomb did not explode and no one was hurt.

Authorities said the Connecticut resident waived his rights to an initial court appearance while he co-operated with authorities. An initial appearance in court typically happens within a day or two of a suspect's arrest.
