The Long War Journal reported the following news item, which we find to be more credible than a so-called MSNBC "expert's" claim that right-wingers were behind this incident.
A top Pakistani Taliban commander took credit for yesterday's failed car bomb attack in New York City.
Qari Hussain Mehsud, the top bomb maker for the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, said he takes "fully responsibility for the recent attack in the USA." Qari Hussain made the claim on an audiotape accompanied by images that was released on a YouTube website that calls itself the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan News Channel.
UPDATE1: This puzzling case just got stranger when FOX News reported that a surveillance camera captured the video image of a white man in his 40s acting suspiciously about half a block away from the SUV where the bomb was located.
UPDATE2: ABC News says a naturalized American citizen from Pakistan is a "person of interest," and that he did not act alone.
UPDATE3: Faisal Shahzad and up to 7 other suspects have been arrested in connection with this case, according to FOX News.
