    A law enforcement official says the 30-year-old Faisal Shahzad (FY’-sul shah-ZAHD’) walks away wearing a white baseball cap moments after the Nissan Pathfinder is ditched in a no-standing zone across from a Broadway theater.

    The official spoke Wednesday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.

    The SUV was rigged with a homemade gasoline-and-propane bomb that didn’t go off on Saturday night. It still cleared the streets of thousands of tourists and shut down Times Square for several hours.

    Shahzad was arrested Monday night at Kennedy Airport and faces terrorism and weapons charges.

    Why is the street merchant being left out of all the honoring, isn’t he the one that flagged the cop down to show him that there is a problem??? or maybe its the usual, bloomy doesn’t think about the ordinary citizen.
