An image of terror suspect Faisal Shahzad is seen on a tv screen as US Attorney General Eric Holder, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, Deputy Director of the FBI John S. Pistole and New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly hold a briefing regarding the investigation into the Times Square attempted bombing, in Washington, DC, on May 4, 2010. FBI agents pulled a Pakistani-American suspected of the botched New York car bombing off a plane in a dramatic arrest as he tried to flee the country, officials said. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said \"a good look\" was needed at how the suspect, Faisal Shahzad, almost got away before being removed from an Emirates Airline plane about to take off from John F. Kennedy Airport to Dubai. AFP PHOTO/Jewel Samad (Photo credit should read JEWEL SAMAD/AFP/Getty Images)
