Three Arrested in Connection with Times Square Bombing

THE TELEGRAPH: Three people have been arrested in connection with the failed Times Square car bomb after a series of morning raids in Massachusetts and New York.



The three people have connections to Faisal Shahzad and may have provided him with funds, US Attorney General Eric Holder said.

"These are people who are connected to Mr Shahzad, we're still trying to determine exactly what the nature of that connection was.

"There's at least a basis to believe that one of the things that they did was provide him with funds and so we're trying to trace back" to determine the purpose of those transactions, Mr Holder said, calling the arrests a significant step.

Police cordoned off a small house in Watertown, a suburb about 10 miles west of Boston, where a neighbour reported seeing an FBI raid. >>> | Thursday, May 13, 2010
