A law enforcement official familiar with the investigation into the failed Times Square car bomb says two men taken into custody from a house in Massachusetts are from Pakistan.
The official says one of the men was taken into custody because he had overstayed his visa. The government had already begun proceedings to remove the other man from the country and he had been awaiting a ruling from an immigration court. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, is not authorized to release details on the case and did not know whether authorities are considering criminal charges against the men.
Authorities and witnesses say federal agents conducted Thursday raids in Boston suburbs and on New York's Long Island. The FBI says the searches are the product of evidence gathered in the investigation into the bombing attempt two weeks ago.
