未遂 ― attempt

New Yorkの繁華街、Times Squareで爆発物を仕掛けたSUVを放置し、無差別テロを図ったとして米国籍パキスタン人の男が拘束されたニュースがトップニュースになっています。

このパキスタン人男性、犯行に及んだ後にJFK空港から国外脱出を試み、ドバイ行きのエミレーツ航空機に乗り込み、離陸寸前までいったようなのですが、土壇場でチェックがかかり、飛行機から引きずりおろされ御用、となったということで、まるで映画のワンシーンのようです。


DUBAI - An American citizen accused of trying to detonate a bomb in New York's Times Square was heading for Pakistan when he was pulled off a Dubai-bound flight shortly after it left the stand at JFK, the airline said Wednesday.

Asked what Faisal Shahzad's final destination had been, an Emirates airline spokesman said: "It was Islamabad."

Prosecutors charged Shahzad, 30, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Pakistan, with five counts, including attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and trying to kill and maim people within the United States. He faces a life sentence if convicted.
