Three Pakistani Men Detained in Times Square Bombing Probe
----------------------------------------------------------



Federal agents detained three Pakistani men on Thursday during a series
of raids in the Northeast as part of the probe into the failed Times
Square car bombing. Attorney General Eric Holder said officials are
working to determine the nature of the connection between the detained
men and Faisal Shahzad, the accused bomber.

Attorney General Eric Holder: “There’s at least a basis to believe that
one of the things that they did was to provide him with funds, and so
we’re trying to trace back to see what exactly was the nature of those
transactions, the purpose of the sharing of those monies. And so this is
just part of an ongoing investigation, and I think it, though, is a
significant step.”
