who did he meet? not only the leaders but people who may have been training along with him and likely plots. that s key. this is the first time we ve seen this in the united states, the car bomb. investigators want to know things like that. that will help in their planning in the future. everything has to be verified. a source i spoke to yesterday told me in the upper circles they are calling this a close call. there was a moment during sunday night where in fact faisal shahzad did fall off the radar. he simply disappeared. he was on the way to the airport and there was a phone interception trying to block a flight on the emirates airline plane. according to the associates i spoke to, at the same time, multiple jfttf teams were being
