It may or may not have been a terrorist act - according to the definition. It
pretty much scares me that A: had the dipshit succeeded it would have killed a
bunch of people and B: the backlash from this will move us ever closer to a
police state and further away from individual freedoms.
 
So, given those parameters AFAIAC it *was* a terrorist act.

The Pakistani Towel-a-ban claims they were behind the attempt. But, then, nut
cases often sign on to stuff they had nothing to do with at all. I am sure it
will all be investigated AND reported in all its tiresome minutiae.

There is a suspect ... of middle-eastern origin (albeit a naturalised US
citizen) who couldn't have been too bright. If a person of middle-eastern
genotype wants to be un-noticed in New York and abandon a car full of a bomb
that will go unremarked until it detonates he ought to swipe a yellow Crown Vic
or Caprice. Swarthy types in yellow cabs are as common as pigeon shit on the
sidewalks in that area.

Faisal Shahzad, a US citizen of Pakistani origin, is accused of driving the car
bomb into Times Square on Saturday evening.

He is due to appear in court in Manhattan later.

US Attorney General Eric Holder said Mr Shahzad was arrested at John F Kennedy
Airport attempting to board a flight to Dubai.

A senior Pakistani security source in the Pakistani capital Islamabad told the
BBC that the authorities had no knowledge of Mr Shahzad.

He also dismissed statements released by the Pakistani Taliban saying that they
were behind the failed attack and promising more to come. 

"He was trying to cover his tracks, but he left more clues than a guy walking
into a bank to rob it without a mask. This guy left everything here but his
wallet."
