Faisal Shahzad's Mugshot Released

2010_05_faishahzad.jpg
The U.S. Marshal's Service released Times Square terror suspect Faisal Shahzad, and in this image, compared to the widely seen image posted on Orkut, he looks less like Corey Feldman.

The Daily News decides that Shahzad's face "betray[s] no emotion, stares straight into the camera in his new mug shot," and notes how it "shows the terror suspect in a grey sweatsuit with his head slightly tilted to the left. His blank, bearded face shows nothing, with Shahzad displaying the same stoic demeanor displayed Tuesday in his first court appearance." (Gawker just thinks this picture is not as cute as the previous ones.)

There aren't many new details, but ABC News reports, "Shahzad has [allegedly] provided a variety of motives for his mission -- that he was angry over friends killed in Pakistan by CIA missile strikes, that his personal life was in crisis -- even making a claim, according to one source, that he acted under duress-and agreed to carry out the attack only because he feared harm would come to his family back in Pakistan if he did not."

    Finally a picture he didn't take of himself.

    If you take a lot of pictures of yourself then . . .

    except all those people on facebook and myspace.

    Have they found out what Right Wing organisation was helping to finance him. Please check your Socialist Corporate connections in the Middle East especially those CIA operatives that have retired and are working for various princes and Middle Eastern Governments.

    You think that's bad, you should see my "so I don't get to go to Dubai after all?" face.
