The latest developments

TERROR LINKOne of the men arrested in Pakistan Tuesday in connection with the failed attempt to bomb Times Square is a member of Jaish-e-Muhammad, an al-Qaida-allied Pakistani militant group, intelligence sources in

Karachi told the Los Angeles Times yesterday. However, law enforcement officials in the United States said they have been unable to link accused bomber Faisal Shahzad, 30, to any terrorist group or training camp. Sheik Mohammed Rehan allegedly drove with Shahzad from Karachi to Peshawar on July 7, 2009, returning to Karachi on July 22, authorities said. It's not known why they went to Peshawar and whether they met with anyone there. Jaish-e-Muhammad emerged in the mid-1990s as a militant organization focused on overthrowing Indian forces in Kashmir, the disputed region claimed by India and Pakistan.

VIDEO EVIDENCE

Shahzad was videotaped in Pennsylvania buying consumer-grade fireworks that a store official said were not strong enough to make a powerful bomb. Bruce Zoldan, president of Ohio-based Phantom Fireworks, said Shahzad was captured on surveillance video buying fireworks within the past

two months.

A NUMBER, NAME

Investigators discovered Shahzad's name because of a telephone number he provided when he returned to the United States from Pakistan in February, a law enforcement official told The New York Times. The phone number was entered in a Customs and Border Protection agency database and came up Monday when investigators were checking records of calls made to or from the prepaid cellular telephone used by the purchaser, at that point unidentified, of the sport utility vehicle rigged with explosives in Times Square.
