General Petraeus: Times Square Bomb Suspect Acted Alone


General David Petraeus says the Connecticut man who parked an explosive-packed SUV in Times Square last weekend acted alone.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Petraeus, who oversees the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, says Faisal Shahzad, 30, is a “lone wolf” terrorist who did not work with others.

He says Shazad was inspired by Pakistani militants, but did not have direct contact with them.

Authorities have said Shahzad told investigators he went to a terror training camp in Pakistan, but that has not been confirmed.

The investigation has been focused overseas as officials try to piece together the money trail that funded the plot. A law enforcement official tells The Associated Press investigators have the name of someone believed to have funneled cash to finance Faisal Shazad’s failed operation.
