Inside Terror Training Camp Tied to Bomb Suspect

CBS News correspondent Mandy Clark reports Pakistani police have arrested at least two people in Karachi, Pakistan. One of them, Tauseef Ahmed, is believed to have traveled to the U.S. two months ago to meet with Faisal Shahzad.

CBS News has also learned that Shahzad may have spent at least four months training at a terrorist camp - raided in early March by Pakistani forces.

The camp is affiliated with Pakistan's Taliban, the group that claimed responsibility for the botched attack in Times Square. Its leader Hakimullah Mehsud threatened, "The time is very near when our fighters ....will attack the American states."

Prior to the release of the tape, Mehsud was presumed to have been killed in a U.S. drone attack in February.

Special Section: Terrorism in the U.S.

Pakistani Foreign Minister Mahkdoom Qureshi believes the attempted Times Square bombing is a reaction to U.S. drones targeting Taliban Followers.

"This is a blow back. This is a reaction. This is retaliation. And you could expect that," Qureshi said. "Let's not be naive. They're not going to sort of sit and welcome you eliminate them. They're going to fight back."

Though Pakistan is a key ally to the U.S., the country is still seen as a fertile training ground for militants.

Faisal Shahzad comes from a wealthy, well educated family. His father is a retired Air Force chief. But the failed plot will no doubt put new pressure on Pakistan to crack down on insurgents within its borders.

Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad is a U.S. citizen who is from Pakistan.

While in Pakistan, U.S. drones dropped bombs and missiles, nearly killing Shahzad.

Faisal Shahzad told the FBI that the reason he committed this act was in retaliation for the U.S. drone bombing, maiming and killing of scores of Pakistani civilians, including Shahzad himself. Faisal said while in Pakistan, he was nearly killed by a U.S. drone dropping bombs and firing missiles.

What part of that don't you understand, America? The U.S. government indiscriminately dropping American bombs killing Pakistanis - just like in Afghanistan - same stuff - different country.

Yet that doesn't stop some dumbo Americans (like Bill Maher) from continuing to repeat and regurgitate neocon lies.

I saw Bill Maher on TV talking about how he's never read the Koran, but Maher said Islam must be a violent religion because Maher "heard" the Koran speaks of "killing the infidels." Typical Western horsepoop. The Koranic passage Maher is referring to is NOT about killing Americans - it's about Muslims defending themselves from anti-Muslim forces AT THAT TIME - IN THAT CENTURY! NOT HERE AND TODAY! (Arabs attacking Muslims)

One Muslim blogger said:

(See....yourself that this verse does NOT refer to general non-Muslims http://www.quranexplorer.com/quran/ you see english on one side and arabic on the other side of the page.

Go straight to the source rather than get the opinions of people, because this is the smart way to get an answer. So just follow along with me here...click Surah 9, Verses 1-15. In order to understand a verse, one has to read the verses before it and after it. Read those 15 verses, and notice verse 5 says:

"Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."

Some people like to translate "idolators" as "infidels" but this isn't truly correct.

This word in Arabic is "Mushriks", the murderous idolatrous Arabs!

During the time when this verse was revealed it was to allow the Muslims to defend themselves against being attacked by these idolatrous murderers during WAR.

Ofcourse in war you are to defend yourself from the enemy and fight them wherever they are.

Notice how is the only Surah of the whole Quran that doesnt begin with "In The Name Of Allah" because it does not apply to us today. See how much of a difference it takes just knowing the fact that this verse was sent down during war-time? That is why people need to read the Quran with knowledge.

Ignorance is what makes them think infidels refers to non-Muslims! Even in self defense, the verse is peaceful because it says if they repent and seek protection then let them free and forgive them.

Maher and the Western world would be so much happier if the entire Islamic world would just shut the hell up complaining about U.S.-Israeli military occupations of Muslim land. How dare they complain? According to Maher and the neocons, Islamic better just take it up the wazoo without a whimper or a single note of complaint. Who the hell does Bill Maher and the pro-Israeli neocons think they are?

They don't believe in God....so they must believe they are everyone's God!!!!!! This is why they insist on Islamics taking these U.S. drone missiles up the wazoo without a single word of complaint.

Top U.S. guvmint officials believe they are annointed by God to invade and attack nations they don't like, and indiscrimately maim and kill the people of those nations as the U.S. guvmint sees fit.

Further confusing the issue, Maher and other Americans simply cannot comprehend that the reason Islamic terrorists hate and attack us has nothing to do with freedom, hot dogs, apple pies and Chevrolets - NO! The reason Islamic terrorists attack and hate us is because the U.S. government has been funding, arming and supporting Israel's four decades long illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories. Says who? bin Laden and every other Islamic terrorist who has attacked America or Israel. Now Islamics have even more reason to target America for terrorism, with the continued Bush-Obama bombing of Islamic nations - THANK YOU BARACK "GUTLESS" OBAMA!!!!

Even the FBI said on record that U.S. support of Israel was the primary motivation of the 9/11 hijackers.

where is this camp why don't we attack with many drones, them talibanies just love them drones they are so quiet, they don't disturb the neighbors

[DawnBroderick40]

It's really funny looking at the pictures in the story above. Did they come from a camp brochure? Is that the latest camp photo? Wow, these people really are nutcases. In all the years that their have been shooting and blowing people up in the name of their horribly violent religion, has ANYTHING ever been accomplished other than for people to think they are horribly violent? What a joke they are.

[msjb1]

that camp is where they got the idea for the movie dumb and dumber

[marks6806]

And Obama is on record offering apologies to the Islamic radical terrorists "for making them feel like they need to try to blow us up."

Airplanes, shoe-bombs, explosive underpants, vans full of firecrackers..... I'm sure glad WE have weapons of mass destruction and they don't.... yet.

But as Osama is bashing Israel and ignoring the radical maniacs in Iran and N Korea it may not be long.

I was no 'Dubya' fan, but at least he knew how to treat Muslim radicals. And where to keep them.

[thesevenveils]

A Dubya fan are you? I could hardly tell. Keep supporting Palin, she'll save you.

[msjb1]

be nice and they will be nice to us does that not sound good

[marks6806]

Osama is so into his lovefest with Muslims he won't even acknowledge the bomber was a Muslim. This incident was simply "an attempted man-made disaster." It had nothing to do with radical Islam's war on the US.

How could it? Osama tells us we are not at war with radical Islam. Makes you wonder if he is on crack - or maybe he is a muslim himself. He never misses an opportunity to praises Muslims, their hateful religion, their corrupt and violent-backing governments, and then craps on Israel every chance he gets.

Hope all you Kool-Aid drinkers avoid being blown-up in incidents of 'man-made disasters.'

[msjb1]

now you know them airliners was man made was he lying

[dwilson59]

He went to a terror training camp, lets give it to him. Take him out back and just shoot him and save the Govt money

[marks6806]

You are correct wayleft. We are not at war with radical Islam. As Osama tells us - these acts of terror by Islamic radicals have nothing to do with Islam. They are simply "man-made disasters."

Lefties are such idiots. Even Karl Marx is laughing at you.

[Shocktribe]

Poor wayleft... so angry.

[thomderr1]

I guess that the camp didn't train him correctly - thank God! What ever happened to the suicide bombers? Now they just light their shoes, shorts and cars on fire, then try to run. Obviously, to try again.

Just shoot him.

[msjb1]

seeing he owned up to it i see nothing wrong with execution by hanging outside the jail right now

[armyoftwelve]

Of all the immigrant and religious groups that have come to the USA over the past 200+ years, NONE of them have produced as much terrorism as islam has.

[to_john]

Actually, the white, Anglo Saxon Christian immigrants to America still hold the record for mass murder and genocide using WMDs and other weapons, both within America's borders and outside them.

[msjb1]

must be the koran is wrong

[bajajohn1]

We are at war. The Amrican Pakistani community needs to help U.S. authorities to identify Pakistani's that they suspect of being involved in terrorist activities. One would call this Pakistani reporting requirement as a duty.
