A member of the Al Qaeda-allied Pakistani militant group Jaish-e-Muhammad is being held by authorities in Pakistan. That man spent time with Faisal Shahzad, the person charged in the failed bomb plot, although sources say that does not mean Jaish-e-Muhammad engineered the plot.

The police and F.B.I. found the owner of the vehicle that contained the makings of a bomb in Times Square, but he is not a suspect, the police said.

A crude bomb of propane, gasoline and fireworks began to detonate but did not explode on Saturday, prompting the evacuation of tourists and theatergoers.
