US officials: New focus on striking US, the West (AP)

 

FILE - In this undated file photo from the social networking site Orkut.com, a man who was identified by neighbors in Connecticut as Faisal Shahzad, is shown. Shahzad was arrested at a New York airport on charges that he drove a bomb-laden SUV meant to cause a fireball in Times Square, federal authorities said. The Pakistani-American who police say admitted to trying to blow up a car bomb in busy Times Square has made no court appearance since his arrest almost a week ago and, although he is cooperating with authorities, there's been no consensus he was acting alone and no word on why he planned the terror attack that has left many New Yorkers on edge for days. (AP Photo/Orkut.com, File) NO SALESAP - 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.
