Faisal bought one-way ticket to Pakistan: airline
DUBAI: The chief suspect in the attempted bombing of New York’s Times Square tried to flee the US with a one-way ticket to Islamabad, said an Emirates Airlines official on Wednesday. “We have been informed that he had a one-way ticket for Islamabad via Dubai,” Boutros Boutros, Emirates deputy president and head of communications, told Al-Arabiya television. Pakistani-American suspect Faisal Shahzad was arrested and taken into custody on Monday in New York as he was trying to flee on board an Emirates Airlines flight bound for Dubai from New York’s John F Kennedy Airport. Shahzad was among three people ordered off the plane, but US authorities later allowed two of the passengers to re-embark. afp
