nprThe militancy that investigators say Time Square bomb suspect Faisal Shahzad may have encountered in Pakistan is a diverse alphabet suit: the TTP (Pakistan Taliban), the LeT (Lashkar e Taiba), among others. Pakistan analysts say the militants groups, once distinct and separate, are increasingly fusing.
There is a thriving underground trade in selling information and even assets — which Shahzad may have been.
That a son of a vice air marshal with impeccable credentials could fall prey to extremists is seen as an especially troubling turn, signaling that political radicalization — and not religious fundamentalism — is at work. link to audio(will be available shortly):
