American Who Recently Visited Pakistan Eyed in Times Square Bomb Plot

Via FoxNews.com -

The person is a naturalized American citizen who was in Pakistan for several months and returned to the United States recently, investigative sources told Fox News.

Federal authorities have identified a person of interest in Saturday night's Times Square bomb attempt -- a naturalized American citizen who was in Pakistan for several months and returned to the United States recently, investigative sources told Fox News.

The latest developments seem to support investigators' suspicions that there was a foreign connection behind the failed car bomb attempt in New York City, senior Obama administration officials told Fox News, shedding light on the growing body of evidence.

Sources say that evidence includes international phone calls made by the person of interest, who has not been identified publicly.

Police also have interviewed the registered owner of the bomb-laden sports-utility vehicle. They say he is not a suspect, but he recently sold the dark-colored 1993 Nissan Pathfinder on Craigslist to another individual. It wasn't clear whether the buyer was the person of interest now sought by authorities.
