Faisal Shahzad, the man who allegedly left his Nissan Pathfinder with a homemade bomb inside, reportedly asked investigators why it didn't go off. The Post reports that Shahzad, who has "spent the last two weeks under guard at a Brooklyn hotel," "begged them to explain where he went wrong... The source did not say whether he was given the courtesy." At any rate, Shahzad said the bomb's failure was "God's will."
MyFoxNY has some more details from a chatty source: Investigators are trying to figure out who Shahzad may have called, and it's not easy because "Shahzad bought and used numerous pre-paid cell phones while he was allegedly plotting the bombing attack." Shahzad was also "a little concerned about his own safety if he were to be released by authorities, fearing he could be in slight danger from people he had given up to investigators" and he basically denounced his wife: "Shahzad said his wife is not a good Muslim woman, that she is too modernized, and that he basically doesn't want anything to do with her." (Shahzad has two children with Huma Mian; they married in 2004, but in 2009, their marriage appeared "strained.")
A former terrorism prosecutor tells the NY Times that Shahzad won't get any special breaks for cooperating with the feds, "I think he is doomed. He has confessed to an extraordinarily serious offense that carries with it essentially life in prison." And by the way, the the Global War on Terror (GWOT) is now CVE, Countering Violent Extremism. Please make a note of it.
