Documents found near bomb suspect's former Shelton home

SHELTON -- Faisal Shahzad's Pakistani passport, tax documents, greeting cards, academic records and immigration documents were found abandoned outside a Shelton home once owned by the man charged in the attemped Times Square car bombing.

The documents, mainly from 2000 and 2001, were found Tuesday by a Connecticut Post reporter outside the house at 119 Long Hill Ave. where the 30-year-old Shahzad lived until about a year ago. The house is vacant and up for sale.

Police earlier had searched the property, according to neighbors.

The papers, soaked from recent rains, paint a picture of the man police believe intended to set off a bomb housed in the Nissan Pathfinder he purchased recently from a Bridgeport woman off Criagslist. Shahzad lived at the small gray Colonial until about a year ago, neighbors said, and has since been empty and has a Realtor's lock box on the front door.

While the papers document many events in Shahzad's life, they don't say what would motivate the 30-year-old naturalized citizen allegedly to want to cause mass destruction and injuries in the heart New York City.

How odd that a reporter found this stuff and not a law enforcement official.
