Alleged bomber to arrive at New York courthouse

The World

WNYC reporter Ailsa Chang is at the Manhattan federal courthouse where the alleged Times Square bomb suspect, Faisal Shahzad is expected to arrive. The courthouse is mobbed with news cameras all waiting for his arrival.

Ailsa Chang brings us the details, noting that in terrorism cases so much of the information is confidential, so the public may not have specifics about the charges for quite some time.
