Arrow Times Square bombing suspect met with #3 Taliban leader

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/05/05...aliban-leader/

This guy was trained by the Taliban and met with their leadership before launching his attack. If the Taliban is now launching terrorist attacks on American soil, that is a big change in their strategy, and the danger they pose to us.

American officials now believe that NYC SUV bomber very likely linked to Pakistani Taliban.

Officials said that after two days of intense questioning of the bombing suspect, Faisal Shahzad, evidence was mounting that the group, the Pakistani Taliban, had helped inspire and train Shahzad in the months before he is alleged to have parked an explosives-filled sport-utility vehicle in a crowded Manhattan intersection Saturday night.
Pakistani militants seeking revenge for increased successes from CIA attacks on them in Pakistan.

Seems to me that this takes the situation to a new level of threat to U.S. citizens at home.
