Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized U.S. citizen who said he was trained to use explosives by the Pakistani Taliban, pleaded guilty to driving a bomb-laden car into New York’s Times Square to avenge the deaths of Muslims.
Shahzad, 30, pleaded guilty yesterday less than two months after his arrest to all 10 terrorism-related charges, including attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, brought in an indictment on June 17 by prosecutors in the office of Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.
