Religion of peace. And car bombs. And killing.
Faisal Shahzad, the 30-year-old Pakistani-American suspect in the failed Times Square bombing case, has said that he had planned a second strike in New York, a media report said Thursday.
The confession was disclosed in new court documents that say that Shahzad, who was arrested two days after the attempted May 1 bomb attack while trying to flee the country, should get life in prison at his scheduled sentencing Oct 5.
According to the documents filed in a federal court Wednesday, at the time of his arrest, Shahzad said that ‘if he had not been arrested, he planned to detonate a second bomb in New York City two weeks later’, CNN reported.
Federal prosecutors said Shahzad ‘wanted to select the busiest time for pedestrian traffic in Times Square because pedestrians walking on the streets would be easier to kill and to injure than people driving in cars’.
The prosecutors also contended that Shahzad believed the bomb would kill about 40 people and that he ‘was prepared to conduct additional attacks until he was captured or killed’.
