Times Square suspect ‘inspired by radical cleric with links to Christmas Day plot and Fort Hood shootings’
The man suspected of attempting to bomb Times Square was inspired by a radical cleric with links to suspects in the failed Christmas Day plane bombing and the Fort Hood shootings, according to reports.
Faisal Shahzad, 30, has told investigators that he watched Internet videos by the American-born, Yemeni based cleric, Anwar al-Aulaqi ahead of allegedly driving a weapon of mass destruction into the centre of New York.
The cleric was the first American citizen to be placed on a list of most wanted by the CIA when the Obama administration authorised his killing in April.
Mr al-Aulaqi is believed to be a recruitment officer for al-Qaeda and has been tied with the 9/11 terrorists as well as Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian accused of trying to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day, and Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people in November at Fort Hood, Texas.Of course, not everyone is taking this failed attack in such a light-hearted manner. Steve On Broadway reports on his blog that: “Even though I was in Times Square earlier Saturday, I for once was relieved last evening to be in the comfort and safety of my own home. But the cowardice shown in Times Square won’t deter me from returning again soon.” Of course, it now turns out that the bomb might well have been targeted at the Viacom building, home of Comedy Central – the network that produced the recent, controversial episode of South Park featuring the prophet Mohammed.

Hasan Charged With 13 Murders, The US Army has charged a military psychiatrist Major Nidal Malik Hasan with 13 counts of murder in last week’s shooting spree at the Fort Hood Army base, while President Barack Obama ordered a review to determine if the government fumbled warning signs of the man’s contacts with a radical Islamic cleric.
An Army spokesman Chris Gray said Major Nidal Malik Hasan, 39, a Muslim born in the United States of immigrant parents, was charged with murdering the 13 victims of the November 5 rampage at Fort Hood, the world’s biggest military facility. He could face the death penalty and the case has drawn criticism of army intelligence after it became known that Hasan had been in contact with an Islamic figure sympathetic to al Qaeda.
Meanwhile, Obama ordered a review of all intelligence related to Hasan to determine whether it was properly shared and acted upon within the government. John Brennan, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, will oversee the review. The first results are due Nov. 30. Obama also ordered the preservation of the intelligence.
