The Pakistani-American arrested over Saturday's failed Times Square car bombing was of Kashmiri descent but it is not known if he was affiliated with any militant group, a source familiar with the investigation said on Tuesday.The source, who asked not to be named because the issue is sensitive, said the suspect, Faisal Shahzad, was born in 1979 and was from the disputed Kashmiri region. He had been in the United States for some time."Which group he may have belonged to and how he became radicalized, we don't know yet," said the source. "He is Kashmiri by ethnicity," he added.(Reporting by Sue Pleming, Editing by Frances Kerry)
