New York Post -- Bomb suspect busted at JFK

That lanky white dude who changed his shirt in Times Square is regretting his sketchy appearance today. New York and federal authorities -- after starting a national manhunt for the possible “lone wolf” bomber caught on security video near the green Pathfinder loaded with gasoline cans and propane tanks -- have arrested a native Pakistani and are exploring potential ties to overseas Islamist terror groups.

Faisal Shahzad, 30, told his neighbors in Connecticut that he worked on Wall Street, but he and his family mostly kept to themselves. His wife and two children had moved back to Pakistan months ago, which is where Shahzad was returning when the feds called his flight back to the gate and arrested him.

Shahzad looks like a pretty standard schmo from Bridgeport in his Facebook photo – track suit, cheesy sunglasses, patchy beard, etc. but the Post hints that he may have gotten fired up on a recent trip back to his native land.

No word on the possible targeting of Comedy Central’s headquarters. The Viacom-owned network angered Islamists by only partially censoring South Park’s lampoon of Mohammed. Who knew deranged fanatics would be so hard to appease?

“While authorities initially downplayed the bomb as ‘amateurish,’ they have since backed off that assessment, noting that had it gone off, it would likely have killed hundreds of people.

The bombing was thwarted after two street vendors noticed the Pathfinder's interior was smoking and alerted two mounted NYPD officers, who immediately evacuated the area.”

Did I hear correctly that the timestamp on the video of the wrong guy changing his shirt was two hours off from when the vehicle was abandoned on the side of the street?
