Pakistan vows to help US over NY bomb suspect

---

ISLAMABAD, May 4 (Reuters): Pakistan vowed Tuesday to help the United States (US) bring to justice a Pakistani-American arrested in the US in connection with a failed car bomb in New York's Times Square at the weekend.
Faisal Shahzad, a naturalised US citizen born in Pakistan, was arrested Monday at John F Kennedy International Airport in New York as he attempted to board a flight to Dubai, US officials said.
Faisal will appear in Manhattan federal court later on Tuesday to face charges "for allegedly driving a car bomb into Times Square on the evening of May 1," according to a statement by US Attorney Preet Bharara, FBI agent George Venizelos and New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.
Pakistani foreign ministry spokesman Abdul Basit said they were awaiting details from the U.S. authorities about Faisal.
Pakistan is a key ally of the United States and has arrested hundreds of al Qaeda operatives and handed over many of them to the United States after it signed up to the US-led war on terrorism after the September 11 attacks on the United States in 2001.
