Attorney General: Suspects Detained in Times Square Bomb Plot

clipped from www1.voanews.com U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder says several people were taken into custody during raids in the northeastern United States in connection with this month's failed Times Square car bombing in New York City.  Holder faced questions from congressional lawmakers about the Obama administration's national security policies and counter-terrorism funding for New York City.  "Just this morning, we executed search warrants in several locations in the Northeast in connection with the investigation into the attempted bombing," he said. "Several individuals who were encountered during those searches have been taken into federal custody for alleged immigration violations."  "These searches are the product of evidence that has been gathered in the investigation since the attempted Times Square bombing and do not relate to any known immediate threat to the public or active plot against the United States," he added.
