White House says Pakistan Taliban behind NY bomb
None
Saying they have obtained new evidence, senior White House officials said the Pakistani Taliban were behind the failed Times Square bombing.
The attempt marks the first time the group has been able to launch an attack on US soil. And while US officials have downplayed the threat, citing the bomb's lack of sophistication, the incident in Times Square and Christmas Day airline bomber indicate growing strength by overseas terrorist groups linked to al-Qaida even as the CIA says their operations are seriously degraded.
