Federal authorities have identified person of interest in Saturday night’s car bomb attempt in New York City’s Times Square, Fox News confirms.
The person is a naturalized American citizen who was in Pakistan for several months and returned to the United States recently, though the person’s identity has not been made public.
The latest developments come as a senior administration official confirmed earlier to Fox News that investigators have begun to suspect the failed attack was the work of an international plot. The official could not definitively say whether a foreign conspiracy was behind the incident, but that the body of evidence was moving in that direction.
