NEW YORK: Pakistani-American terror suspect Faisal Shahzad appeared in court for the first time since his arrest two weeks ago in the botched Times Square bombing plot to face terrorism and weapons charges and was ordered to remain behind bars.
Shahzad uttered just one word, saying "yes" when asked to confirm the accuracy of a financial statement in his arraignment proceedings that lasted about 15 minutes at a Manhattan federal court.
He was allowed to have a defence attorney to defend him. The 30-year-old man sat on the defence table with his court assigned lawyer Julia Gatto.
Wearing a grey sweatshirt, Shahzad was led out of the court in handcuffs after the magistrate read him his rights.
For the first time, terror suspects like Shahzad are being interrogated by a special team of investigators.
