NEW YORK – The search to find out who planted a car bomb that fizzled out in crowded Times Square took an international turn Monday as investigators said they were seeking a potential suspect who had recently traveled to Pakistan and had used cash to buy the SUV from a Connecticut man.
Two law enforcement officials say that authorities have identified the buyer of the SUV used in the botched bombing. One of the officials tells The Associated Press that the potential suspect is a man of Pakistani descent who recently traveled to Pakistan.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the case is at a sensitive stage.
