Times Square bomb suspect 'did a dry run'

In the days before his failed attempt to detonate a car bomb in the heart of Times Square, the American suspect, who had recently returned from his native Pakistan, did a dry run, a law enforcement official said today.

Faisal Shahzad, now in custody on terrorism and weapons charges, drove a 1993 Nissan Pathfinder to New York City’s landmark Times Square from Connecticut on April 28, apparently to figure out where would be the best place to leave it later, the official told the Associated Press.
