NY suspect is a ‘lone wolf’, says Gen Petraeus
WASHINGTON: US General David Petraeus, who oversees wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, says the Times Square bombing suspect is a “lone wolf” who did not work with others. Gen Petraeus said the alleged bomber, Faisal Shahzad, was inspired by terrorists in Pakistan, but did not have direct contact with them. Authorities say Shahzad told investigators he went to a terror training camp in Pakistan, but they have yet to confirm that. Shahzad is a US citizen, accused of an attempted terror attack nearly a week ago in New York’s Times Square. He was caught on Monday night trying to leave the country. ap
