NEW YORK - Accused Times Square terrorist Faisal Shahzad posed for photos like a typical tourist during a 2008 visit with family and friends to the site of his attempted car bombing.
A photo obtained by CBS News shows the suspect standing with a group of people less than 100 yards from the W. 45th St. spot where he parked an explosives-laden Pathfinder.
According to the New York Daily News, the picture was taken between 18 and 24 months ago, and shows Shahzad with wife Human Mian and a half-dozen other unidentified people.
CBS News says the suspect is easily identifiable amidst the neon lights of Times Square, standing on a traffic island just a short distance north of the NYPD’s Times Square station.
The photo surfaced as the Taliban denied any ties to the Times Square car bomber. (ANI)
