英语文摘：U.S. nabs suspected fund provider in Times Square bombing plot

Federal agents searched properties in several locations in the Northeast on Thursday morning, arresting several people.

The Times Square bombing plot took place on May 1. A smoking sports utility vehicle carrying a suspicious package of gasoline, fireworks and propane tanks was discovered in the highly crowded downtown area, but the bomb failed to explode.

FBI agents carry out evidence collected from 39 Waverly Avenue in Watertown, Massachusetts May 13, 2010. U.S. authorities raided locations in New York, Boston and Philadelphia suburbs on Thursday in connection with the failed Times Square bombing and arrested several people, but officials said there was no new attack threat.

Two days later, Shahzad, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Pakistan, was arrested in connection with the attempt. Authorities say Shahzad has been cooperative in the probe.

After the Thursday arrests were made, the FBI said there was no known immediate threat to the public or any active plot.
