Times Square bomb plot suspect arrested.

As you all may of heard of, there was an attempted terrorist attack Saturday night in the heart of Manhattan. The suspect, Faisal Shahzad, bought a Nissan Pathfinder in a Connecticut shopping mall and paid for it in cash. The bomb in the SUV made up of propane tanks, fertilizer and gasoline failed to detonate. Faisal Shahzad, an American Citizen, was arrested in JFK airport while trying to catch a plane to Dubai. Investigators believe that Shazad did not act alone. As a matter of fact, the Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud released a video about 24 hours after the attempted attack claiming that the Taliban are prepared to inflict "painful blows" to all the major U.S. cities. Although, a military official said that there is no credible evidence that the Taliban are responsible for the attack. Kevin Berry, a former bomb squad member, said that the bomb had no known signature linking back to any other terrorist organizations. Also, the article said that bombs linked to the Taliban would have been much better quality. A former agent even called it a Rube Goldberg contraption, which reminded me of physics.

I believe it is extremely heart breaking to have a naturalized American citizen try and inflict so much pain but I am thankful that he was enough of an amateur to not even make the bomb properly. This makes me believe that he was not linked to the terrorist groups. Although, some of the evidence is in favor that there is a tie between them because of the video released so closely after and his attempt to leave the country. I am very curious to see how this all plays out.

So what do you guys think? Is there possibly a terrorist organization forming in our own country? Or is the Taliban responsible for the attempted attack? Or did Shahzad act alone? Will there be more possible attacks in the future? Is there the possibility that Shahzad is innocent?
