A Pakistan-born US citizen faces arraignment in New York on an indictment accusing him of using money and training from the Pakistani Taliban to plot a failed Times Square car bombing.
Faisal Shahzad is being called upon today to enter a plea to 10 terrorism and weapons charges. He's accused of a plot that fizzled when a gasoline-and-propane bomb failed to ignite in an sports utility vehicle parked near a Broadway theater May 1.
The ex-budget analyst was arrested two days later. Authorities say he cooperated with investigators for two weeks before requesting a lawyer.
The indictment came last week in Manhattan federal court. The most serious counts against the 30-year-old Shahzad carry mandatory penalties of life in prison.
His dad's cousin calls his arrest "a conspiracy."
