Faisal Shahzad was arrested at JFK airport in New York as he prepared to board a flight to Dubai, Holder said.
"It is clear the intent behind this terrorist act was to kill Americans," Holder said. "We will not rest until we bring everyone responsible to justice."... http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/05/04/new.york.car.bomb/index.html?hpt=T1&iref=BN1

why did you on NPR's On Point discussion last week state that NY Times Square bomber Shazad is of limited intelligence noting his leaving the key to the getaway car in the bomb car as evidence of such lack of intelligence? the homegrown terrorists are men we are told with graduate degrees. why do you say there are a very limited number of such terrorist? There are a hundred cells at least in the great NYC area. Bomb ingredients unavailable? You differentiate between inert fertilizer which is plentifully available and the kind used in Oklahoma City. You assume that for the inert to be made explosive is beyond their ability? Nothing you said on NPR seems realistic or valid. Please explain
