Shahzad, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Pakistan, pleaded guilty last month to having tried to detonate a car bomb in Times Square. The explosive device, made of gasoline, propane, firecrackers and alarm clocks, was left in a smoking car in downtown Manhattan this past May 1 - but did not go off. Its placement Law enforcement teams were able to track Shahzad down, removing him from a plane headed to Dubai - his final destination was Pakistan - at JFK International Airport.
The clip, shows a black turban-clad Shahzad sitting next to a gun and promising that “this attack on the United States will also be a revenge attack for all the fighters and oppressed Muslims. Eight years have passed since the [United States'] Afghanistan war and you shall see how the Muslim war has just begun and how Islam will spread across the world.”
He specifically mentioned, to explain why he sought revenge, the deaths of Al Qaeda and Taliban leaders - one in Iraq four years ago and one in Pakistan last year. The tape also features Shahzad declaring that Islam will defeat democracy and Communism, and adding, “I really wish the hearts of the Muslims will be pleased with this attack."
Religion of Peace?
