However, the federal minister added there was no evidence of his (Shahzad) contacts with militant groups in Pakistan.
Shahzad has been formally charged with terrorism and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction in connection with a failed car-bomb attack in New York's Times Square on Saturday.
