Failed NY bomber wanted to take revenge for Afghan war, reveals video | Confessed Times Square bomb plotter Faisal Shahzad had planned the May 1 terror strike to take revenge from the US for waging war against Afghanistan, a video released by a television channel has revealed. The video aired by the
Al-Arabiya television channel is said to have been recorded by the Taliban before
the failed bombing. “This attack on the United States will also be a revenge attack
for all the mujahideen,” the video showed Shahzad, as saying. “Eight years have
passed since the Afghanistan war and you shall see how the Muslim war has just
begun and how Islam will spread across the world,” the US citizen of Pakistani
origin added. The 40-minute videotape shows Shahzad in a black turban cradling
an AK-47 as he mumbles and stammers to praise killed Pakistani Taliban leader
Baitullah Mehsud and top Al Qaeda leader Abu Musabal-Zarqawi. “I will be taking
revenge on their behalf, insha'Allah. Democracy will be defeated,” The New York
Daily News quoted him, as saying in the video. Shahzad had babbled in a similar
fashion when he pleaded ‘100 times guilty’ before a New York court last month.
“I'm going to plead guilty a hundred times over because until the hour the U.S.
pulls its forces from Iraq and Afghanistan and stops the drone strikes . . . we
will be attacking the U.S,” he had told the court. |
