Mug shot of Faisal Shahzad, the man accused of plotting a car bombing in New York's Times Square.
NEW YORK – A Pakistani immigrant who tried to set off a car bomb in Times Square was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison by a judge who said she hopes he spends time behind bars thinking "carefully about whether the Koran wants you to kill lots of people."
A defiant Faisal Shahzad smirked as he was given a mandatory life term that, under federal sentencing rules, will keep him behind bars until he dies.
"If I'm given 1,000 lives I will sacrifice them all for the life of Allah," he said at the start of a statement that lasted several minutes. "How can I be judged by a court that does not understand the suffering of my people?"...
[Full Article][Webmaster - Doesn't it seem odd that Shahzad was tried, convicted, and sentenced only 5 months after his stunt back in May, while there are still 176 "detainees" languishing at Gitmo, some after 8+ years without a trial. Why didn't the trial get much coverage while it was going on? Why wasn't it televised? Why was the trial itself so low-key when his arrest was hyped up so much? The government doesn't want the full story to get out or you might discover Shahzad was provocateured. They wanted to be able to control and manipulate the "show" trial from beginning to end, then use it for propagana purposes.]

The U.S. military is reviewing options for a unilateral strike in Pakistan in the event that a successful attack on American soil is traced to the country's tribal areas, according to senior military officials.
Ties between the alleged Times Square bomber, Faisal Shahzad, and elements of the Pakistani Taliban have sharpened the Obama administration's need for retaliatory options, the officials said. They stressed that a U.S. reprisal would be contemplated only under extreme circumstances, such as a catastrophic attack that leaves President Obama convinced that the ongoing campaign of CIA drone strikes is insufficient.
"Planning has been reinvigorated in the wake of Times Square," one of the officials said...

Investigation says Shahzad taught by rogue ISI agents
LONDON – MI6 agents based in Pakistan have established that rogue intelligence officers in the country's Inter-Services Intelligence service, ISI, arranged for Faisal Shahzad to return to the United States after giving him instructions on how to build the Times Square bomb, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
The MI6 officers believe that an ISI officer could have traveled on the same flight that Shahzad took when he flew home.
"This could be a potentially devastating blow for the ISI which already has a shaky anti-terrorism reputation in British and US intelligence agencies," said an intelligence source in London...

A report that the feds were asking questions about the alleged Times Square bomber six years ago poses a major mystery.
There was really nothing memorable about the 24-year-old Pakistani guy whom George LaMonica bought his Norwalk, Connecticut, condo from in the spring of 2004. Had it not been for what happened shortly after he moved in, LaMonica might have forgotten him entirely. LaMonica says he arrived home one day to find the business card of a detective working with an FBI-led task force. When he later spoke to the investigator, he says, he was asked about the condo's previous owner. The potential significance of this only became apparent years later, when the man in question, Faisal Shahzad, was arrested for the failed plot to detonate a car bomb in New York's Times Square.
LaMonica's account, if accurate, raises some crucial questions: Why were the feds sniffing around Shahzad six years ago? Did they have suspicions about him that should have been acted upon before he parked a bomb-laden Pathfinder in the heart of New York City? As in the Fort Hood shooting and the bungled Christmas Day bombing, did government agencies possess pieces of the puzzle, yet fail to grasp the big picture?...

The FBI asked officials at the Homeland Security Department to limit the number of airlines which were given special emergency warning that the name of Times Square bombing suspect Faisal Shahzad had been added to the U.S. government's "no fly" list in the early afternoon on May 3, 2010, Declassified has learned. The FBI asked Homeland officials to limit special notifications about Shahzad's fresh no-fly listing because it feared that telling too many airlines about it might lead to news leaks, which the bureau feared were already interfering with its investigation and threatening to spook the suspect, said two Obama administration officials familiar with the issue, who asked for anonymity when discussing sensitive information. An FBI spokesman declined to discuss the matter...

AP - Faisal Shahzad at Phantom Fireworks in Matamoras, Pa., where he reportedly bought some explosive materials.
WASHINGTON -- The failed bombing in New York's Times Square is a possible signal that militant leaders in Pakistan have shifted their focus to targets in the U.S. and other Western countries instead of sticking to their home base, according to U.S. counterterrorism officials.
The attack, they also warned, could be only the first by terrorist groups that seek to avoid detection by using simpler methods that are more independently planned. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly.
U.S. investigators and intelligence agencies are trying to establish whether accused bomber Faisal Shahzad was trained or recruited for the Times Square operation by any Pakistan-based terrorist organization, including the Pakistani Taliban. Shahzad, a U.S. citizen of Pakistani descent, spent five months in Pakistan before returning to the United States in February and preparing his attack...
[Webmaster - This is the corportate-controlled media drumbeat being leaked to us by "The Officials." They are paving the way...laying the groundwork. In other words...reading between the lines..."The Officials" WILL BE (plan on) hitting us with staged false flag attacks (like 9/11) but we are supposed to be brainwashed/programmed to make believe it is entirely the work of foreign entities. They will then use these false flag events to further restrict our liberty and freedom in the name of "national security" (ie - more "Patriot Act"-type of legislation). Also, they will leverage these false flag attacks to expand our presence in Pakistan, increasing the military / industrial complex's foothold in the Middle East. You will soon be hearing a lot more about "Continuity of Government" as the phony terrorist attacks begin.]

Faisal Shahzad Said To Have Linked Up With Taliban Through Internet, But Already High-Placed Contacts
Accused Times Square Bomber Faisal Shahzad linked up with the Pakistani Taliban through the internet, ABC News has been told by law enforcement and intelligence sources close to the investigation. Once the Taliban identified him as more valuable in the U.S. than in Pakistan, they trained him to return to execute his bomb attack.
But according to these sources, Faisal also had a web of jihadist contacts that included big names tied to terror attacks in the U.S. and abroad, including the figure who has emerged as a central figure in many recent domestic terror attempts - radical American-born Muslim cleric Anwar Awlaki.
Besides Awlaki, sources say Shahzad was also linked to a key figure in the Pakistani Taliban, its Emir Beitullah Mehsud, who was killed in a drone missile strike in 2009. The Mehsuds had been family friends of Shahzad, who is the son of a former high-ranking Pakistani military officer...
[Webmaster - Please see my posting from two days ago, Tuesday, May 4th... http://www.projectwakeupcall.com/2010/05/apparent-links-found-between-times.html
Like I predicted, the media finally made the connection between Shahzad and Awlaki. Now we know this was a staged "false flag" attack.]
Jaish-e-Muhammad founded by CIA-MI6 asset who bankrolled 9/11 hijackers

A man arrested in Pakistan in connection with the Times Square car bombing attempt who had traveled with accused bomber Faisal Shahzad is a member of a terrorist organization that is controlled by British MI6 and the CIA.
Sheik Mohammed Rehan, who was arrested on Tuesday in Karachi, “Allegedly drove with Shahzad from Karachi to Peshawar on July 7, 2009, in a pickup truck, authorities said. They returned to Karachi July 22. It is not known why they went to Peshawar and whether they met with anyone there,” reports the L.A. Times.
Rehan is a member of the militant group Jaish-e-Muhammad, a terrorist organization that came to prominence in the mid-1990’s and has been involved in attacks in the disputed Kashmir border region between India and Pakistan. The group also helped carry out the December 2001 attack on the Indian Parliament which brought India and Pakistan to the brink of nuclear war, tensions that proved very lucrative for British and American arms manufacturers who sold weapons to both sides.
“The December 2001 terrorist attacks on the Indian parliament — which contributed to pushing India and Pakistan to the brink of war — were conducted by two Pakistan-based rebel groups, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Muhammad, both of which are covertly supported by Pakistan’s ISI,” writes Michel Chossudovsky. “Needless to say, these ISI-supported terrorist attacks serve the geopolitical interests of the US. They not only contribute to weakening and fracturing the Indian Union, they also create conditions which favor the outbreak of a regional war between Pakistan and India.”
Jaish-e-Muhammad, the group now emerging in connection with the Times Square incident, was founded by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, the 9/11 bagman who delivered $100,000 from the United Arab Emirates to Mohammed Atta at the behest of General Mahmud Ahmed, then head of the ISI. Mahmud Ahmed, the man who ordered Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh to bankroll the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, was meeting with Republican Congressman Porter Goss and Democratic Senator Bob Graham in Washington DC on the morning of 9/11. In the days before and after the attack, Ahmed also met with CIA Head George Tenet as well as current Vice-President Joe Biden, then Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee...

New York (CNN) -- A suspect in the failed Times Square car bombing told law enforcement officials that he recently received bomb-making training in Pakistan, court documents filed Tuesday show.
Additionally, charges against Faisal Shahzad allege that he received a series of phone calls from Pakistan in the days leading up to the incident, including five calls on the same day he bought the Nissan Pathfinder used in the attempted attack Saturday night in the bustling area of New York.
The documents, filed in U.S. District Court, detail five counts against Shahzad: attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries, use of a destructive device in connection with criminal violence, transporting and receiving explosives, and damaging and destroying property by means of fire.
If convicted, Shahzad could get life in prison...

The accused Times Square bomber appears to have links to the same town in Colorado where convicted terrorist Najibullah Zazi lived prior to coming to New York City and attempting a foiled subway attack, Fox News has learned.
Records obtained by Fox News show Huma Asif Mian, Faisal Shahzad's wife, has relatives listed at various addresses in Colorado. The addresses include apartment leases and a property deed in Aurora, Colo., and an apartment lease in Golden, Colo., that were held on-and-off from 2003 to March of this year.
A person who answered the phone at the Golden address listed in the records refused to answer questions on Tuesday and instead asked a series of questions about how Fox News obtained the address, phone number and other information related to the case...
[Webmaster - It will be interesting to see how long it is before the Feds link Shazad with Anwar al-Awlaki... According to WikiPedia:
"Al-Awlaki has reportedly met privately with at least two of the 9/11 hijackers.[17][18] Due to these contacts, investigators suspect al-Awlaki may have known about the 9/11 attacks in advance.[17] U.S. intelligence has intercepted emails between al-Awlaki and accused Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Malik Hasan[19][20] and after the Fort Hood shooting, al-Awlaki praised Hasan's actions.[21][22] According to unnamed U.S. officials, "Christmas-Day" bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab implicated al-Awlaki in some elements of planning or preparing for his failed attack.[23] The Wall Street Journal reported that "There is no indication Mr. Awlaki played a direct role in any of the attacks, and he has never been indicted in the U.S."[24]"
- 9/11 shows considerible evidence of being a "false flag" operation...
- The Fort Hood shooting is very suspicious...
- The Underwear bomber was helped onto the place by a U.S. intelligence asset...
Once they show a connection between Shahzad and al-Awlaki, then you'll know it's a "false flag".]
