[00:00.00]This is IN THE NEWS
[00:05.15]in VOA Special English.
[00:08.03]Personal photos show
[00:10.28]Faisal Shahzad smiling.
[00:12.37]And why not?
[00:14.21]The young man built
[00:15.56]a promising life
[00:16.75]in a new land.
[00:17.90]He became an American citizen
[00:20.33]a year ago.
[00:21.38]He had an American-born wife
[00:24.12]from a family
[00:25.36]in his native Pakistan.
[00:27.00]He had two children and a house.
[00:30.35]A master's degree
[00:32.58]from an American school.
[00:34.37]And a job with an international
[00:36.68]marketing company in Connecticut.
[00:39.90]But the image of his life
[00:41.95]started to change.
[00:43.94]He got married six years ago
[00:46.43]in Peshawar.
[00:48.11]A wedding guest told
[00:50.06]the New York Times
[00:51.41]that he had shown no sign
[00:53.30]then of being extremist
[00:55.54]or even at all religious.
[00:58.27]But the guest said in the last year
[01:01.11]or two he began talking more about
[01:04.64]Islam and "lost his way"
[01:07.18]in a struggle with financial problems.
[01:10.42]In February he returned
[01:13.25]to the United States
[01:14.95]without his family
[01:16.69]after a five-month visit to Pakistan.
[01:20.37]Now investigators have been
[01:23.56]working to piece together
[01:25.39]a complete picture of Faisal Shahzad.
[01:29.33]They say he has admitted driving
[01:32.26]a car bomb into heavily crowded
[01:35.70]Times Square in New York City
[01:38.63]last Saturday.
[01:40.12]The device failed to explode.
[01:43.12]The thirty-year old suspect
[01:46.25]was arrested Monday and officials
[01:49.15]described him as cooperative.
[01:51.89]He reportedly said he received
[01:54.93]bomb-making training
[01:57.06]in the Waziristan area of Pakistan.
[02:00.96]At first the Pakistani Taliban
[02:04.74]claimed responsibility
[02:06.53]for the failed bombing.
[02:08.62]But on Thursday it denied
[02:12.16]any link to Faisal Shahzad.
[02:15.24]If found guilty of the charges
[02:18.38]against him,
[02:19.57]he could face life in prison.
[02:22.70]The United States is talking
[02:25.48]to Pakistan about the investigation.
[02:28.29]The suspect was born
[02:30.73]in a tiny northwestern village
[02:33.57]to an upper-middle class family.
[02:36.35]His father was a high-level
[02:39.20]air force officer
[02:40.69]in the Pakistani military.
[02:43.08]The bomb in the sport utility vehicle
[02:46.95]included propane tanks,
[02:49.95]gasoline and fireworks.
[02:53.04]Jim Cavanaugh is a bomb expert
[02:56.22]who worked for the Bureau
[02:58.01]of Alcohol, Tobacco,
[02:59.90]Firearms and Explosives.
[03:01.93]JIM CAVANAUGH: "Well, when you see
[03:03.19]the device, what comes to
[03:04.38]mind immediately is that
[03:05.52]you have a whole lot of desire
[03:06.87]but not a whole lot of technical ability."
[03:09.56]Faisal Shahzad was quickly identified
[03:12.69]and arrested fifty-three hours
[03:15.17]after the attempt in Times Square.
[03:17.92]But like many cases,
[03:19.51]luck also seemed to play a part.
[03:22.99]As officials describe it,
[03:25.18]they lost him for a time.
[03:27.17]He fled to New York's Kennedy Airport
[03:30.69]and bought a ticket to Dubai.
[03:33.34]He was on his way to Pakistan.
[03:36.36]He was arrested as the plane
[03:39.11]was about to leave the gate.
[03:40.95]Later, once the plane left the gate,
[03:44.78]it was ordered to return
[03:46.57]for further investigation.
[03:49.06]AIR CONTROLLER: "Emirates 202,
[03:51.38][unclear] actually I have a message
[03:55.61]for you to go back
[03:56.51]to the gate immediately."
[03:57.50]Officials had added Faisal Shahzad
[03:59.85]to a no-fly list hours earlier.
[04:02.86]Now, airlines will have
[04:05.21]to check the no-fly list
[04:07.41]within two hours of being
[04:09.60]told of additions,
[04:11.29]instead of twenty-four hours.
[04:13.83]What happened in New York
[04:16.18]a week ago has added to calls
[04:19.01]for new laws to deny gun
[04:22.25]and explosive purchases
[04:24.08]to suspected terrorists.
[04:26.54]A government report this week said
[04:29.97]people on a terrorism watch list
[04:32.90]legally bought guns and explosives
[04:35.99]more than one thousand times
[04:38.43]in the past six years.
[04:41.37]And that's IN THE NEWS
[04:43.71]in VOA Special English,
[04:46.53]written by Brianna Blake.
[04:48.78]I'm c.
END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA¾©Ïã2018ÏÂÔØ
