Times Square plot shows terror can cost little
Faisal Shahzad funded his failed Times Square bombing with cash and modest expenses. A plane ticket from Pakistan, a return to the UAE, three months in a Connecticut apartment, a cheap car, and basic supplies totaled far less than lavish funding. Investigators seek overseas cash sources and a possible courier.
