“After Faisal Shahzad planted a car bomb in Times Square, he returned to his home in Connecticut and contacted the Pakistani Taliban via computer, telling one of his handlers what he had done, federal prosecutors in Manhattan said Wednesday,” the New York Times reports today. “The memorandum does not reveal precisely what he told the Taliban the night of his failed attempt, but the communications support Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.’s assertion last June that ‘the Pakistani Taliban facilitated Faisal Shahzad’s attempted attack on American soil.’” Through its spies in the Pakistani intelligence community, Daily Intel has acquired the transcript of this conversation, which we have reproduced here in full.
