A Pakistani-born US citizen has been arrested in connection with Saturday’s attempted car bombing in Times Square, New York. Attorney General Eric Holder announced the arrest late last night.

Eric Holder: “Earlier this evening, Faisal Shahzad was arrested in connection with the attempted car bombing in New York on Saturday. Mr. Shahzad, an American citizen, was taken into custody at JFK Airport in New York as he attempted to board a flight to Dubai.”

Authorities said Faisal Shahzad was already on board the flight at the time of his arrest. Two other passengers were also removed from the airplane. Shahzad is scheduled to appear in Manhattan Federal Court today to face charges. Shahzad reportedly recently returned from a trip to Pakistan. Earlier today, a spokesperson from the Pakistan Taliban disowned a video attributed to the group claiming responsibility for the attempted bombing.
